No more than the GUI toolkit that the OS already provides. You’d just build UIs like you normally do, and then specify the endpoints that the widgets connect to for the data. The key here is that all apps should be forced to explicitly provide an API layer that the UI component talks to, and that anything you as the user want should be able to talk to that API.
I do too unfortunately. Incidentally, this could even be handled by the GUI toolkit itself since native apps have to rely on it to build the user interface. The toolkit could just automatically generate a JSON API based on that for example.

Ahh, yeah that would be pretty good, but I doubt it would ever happen in the West.
