A quick and easy way to change the position of the origin
The widget with colors allows you to modify "quickly" the position of the origin in common positions such as the center or ends in each of the axes.
And to modify it more precisely?
I know it can be modified using the 3d cursor but it would be better to think "directly" about what you want to do.
The following are some discussions on different parts of the proposal:
Funny navigation widget and split area widget
Panels, tabs menus and editors

have you tried the BS Modify Pivot to manually move the pivot via manipulator?
@fudushae I did not know it, it is very good, if blender does not implement its own version, I will surely install it if it works for 2.8.
This would be handy, indeed! The new 2.8 toolbar in T-shelf can be an opportunity to think about a tool dedicated to pivot handling
I like this; though I think it should be noted that this should also work while in edit mode on a limited selection of vertices, edges, or faces.
