If yes how can I do that ?

[edit] I want also to know if it possible to uses a extra table from database to store data from text fields. [/edit]

I'm using Magento version 1.4.2

Widget options are defined in the widget's widget.xml file. All you have to do is add a new entry in the <parameters /> tag and it will appear in the widget interface in the administration area. There is a good tutorial on the Magento website that'll walk you through, pretty much, everything you need to know on widgets.
