Here's an example using Mojo::DOM, to make life easy, even with borked HTML. It replaces hrefs beginning with the selector ;widget=460, replacing them with the URL for this site.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Mojo::DOM;
use feature 'say';
# slurp from file, get from a live site via Mojolicious::UserAgent etc
+...
# hardcoded for example purposes
my $html = '<p><a href="https://example.com">example.com</a></p><p><a
+href=";widget=460" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="Advertise
+r" class="banner" height="60" src="/images/articles/newsletters/Paper
+-v4-468x60.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-righ
+t: auto;" width="468" /></a></p>';
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new( $html );
for my $url ( $dom->find('a[href^=";widget=460"]')->each ){
$url->attr('href' => 'https://perlmonks.org');
}
say $dom->content;
Output:
<p><a href="https://example/com">example.com</a></p><p><a href="https:
+//perlmonks.org" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="Advertiser"
+ class="banner" height="60" src="/images/articles/newsletters/Paper-v
+4-468x60.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right:
+ auto;" width="468"></a></p
Armed with this, it'd be trivial to have a list of widgets & their real urls, substitute the selector and static url value in the code above, looping through the list of widgets.
Update: See also Re: Batch remove URLs, or super search for more examples.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
