I think a way to do this is with a diary-goto-marker-function hook.
The default value could be `goto-char'.  And your todo-mode can change
it via something like:

    (add-function :around diary-goto-marker-function
                  (lambda (orig-fun &rest args)
                    (when (derived-mode-p 'todo-mode) (widen))
                    (apply orig-fun args)
                    (todos-diary-goto-entry)))
