Question

Are there any plugins or hacks that allow assigning widgets to individual pages?

EDIT:
Using self-hosted (.org) 2.8.4

An example of use would be: when you’re editing a page in the admin, you’d ideally have the ability to assign widgets to that specific page. The default WP behavior is more “all or nothing” in that you assign widgets to the global sidebar and that’s it… all pages get the exact same set of widgets… no “per page” assignment of widgets.

The Widget Logic plugin essentially achieves the desired result with a backwards approach, but it doesn’t seem to work with the Rich Text Widget plugin.

Answer 1

Finally found the Widget Context plugin which does what I need.
