Are javascript calls counted as links?

[MarieHaynes]

I've got an idea for a widget and I'd like to give webmasters in my niche the option to embed it on their sites using javascript.

I know I can get a link back by including a link that displays after the widget such as "Provided by www.example.com".  However, many webmasters don't want to link back for a number of possible reasons.  I can see that some webmasters would be ok with using the widget as long as there is no obvious advertising or links to draw users off of their site.

So, if someone embeds a widget which calls on javascript code that is hosted on my site, do I get any seo benefit from this?

I think that the answer to this question is highly related to the value that Google would place on

--- hotlinked images

--- domain mentions

--- social media "likes"

Just seeing what others think of this.
