`undo' should do it.

The widget library is definitely too heavy. And I don't like the idea
of making it read-only either. Just use a special character/string, and
give it a special appearance via text-properties (make sure the user
can't delete just a part of it, so a single char is best, probably with
a display property), so that the user can tell it's not just text and so
that Elisp can reliably recognize it as well.
E.g. (propertize "\0" 'display (propertize " -> " 'face 'my-face))
