Can you not stop-mine (like stop-lurkers) where your widow mine doesn't fire at the first thing it can? It'd be nice if it could hold its firing charge so that it could explode a few seconds later on more workers.

Nope, but you can retarget if there are two things it can reach.

You can if you constantly retarget it it will delay the shot.
