Exporting Widget to PNG not utilizing dashboard filters

When exporting a widget using the rest API, the result does not include the dashboard filters that affect that widget, is there a way around this. Also is there a method to remove the dashboard title from the PNG that is returned?

    Just an interim solution, but utilizing the SisenseJS library, the widget can be loaded as an HTML element with dashboard filters. Once loaded as a HTML element, it can be turned into a png using HTMLtoCanvas or similar. Would be great to have this available via their api but this solution works for now for me.
