Example

Prints UI widget information when UPDATE_UI_WIDGET fires.

local function OnEvent(self, event, w)
	local typeInfo = UIWidgetManager:GetWidgetTypeInfo(w.widgetType)
	local visInfo = typeInfo.visInfoDataFunction(w.widgetID)
	print(w.widgetSetID, w.widgetType, w.widgetID, visInfo)
end

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_UI_WIDGET")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", OnEvent)

You can query the information from the specific data function yourself, or use visInfo which does it programmatically.
E.g. for the Arathi Basin PvP objective:

• Widget Set ID: 1 - Top center part of the screen
• Widget Type: 3 - Enum.UIWidgetVisualizationType.DoubleStatusBar
• Widget ID: 1671 - UiWidget.VisID -> UiWidgetVisualization.ID 1200 "PvP - Domination - Double Status Bar"

/dump C_UIWidgetManager.GetDoubleStatusBarWidgetVisualizationInfo(1671)
