Reference to player information is not displayed on the HUD messaging device

Summary

I have created a widget with player references (e.g. player name) and want to display it on the hud using the HUD messaging device.

Unfortunately, the binding of the text block to the player name only works if I insert the widget directly in the HUD control device (overwrite player information)

the connection is not established with the HUD messaging device! (the player name does not appear, only “text block”)
