 I want to use wp_editor in a admin screen to fill a dashboard widget.
 So I coded the following, expecting oembed to work out of the box:

 https://gist.github.com/mbootsman/892fd5841e59a6e6a077

 It appears the parse-embed AJAX call returns 'success: false' because
 there is a check for post_ID, and that post_ID is not there since I'm
 using the option API (get_option, update_option).

 I suspect this is unwanted behaviour, as the wp_editor can be used for
 more than only post content.
