Yes that looks correct for the <Widget> part, but you also need  
something like this to add it to the toolbar:

 <Container xsi:type="UiItemContainerType">
      <Name>Toolbar</Name>
      <Type>Toolbar</Type>
      <Item xsi:type="WidgetItemType">
        <Function>Widget</Function>
        <Widget>LinkToView</Widget>
      </Item>
......

There should be some way for Studio to put that in, but I'm not sure 
how.  You probably also need a label or icon for it in the <Widget> element.
