Description
Boxplot outliers in ggplot2 can be removed using `outliers=FALSE`. In LetsPlot, there doesn't seem to be such an option. Setting `outlier_size=0` visually hides them, but they still show tooltips if you mouse over near them. I also tried setting `outlier_shape=None` or False or other values and that didn't remove them visually.
Adding this feature would be particularly useful if you're plotting both the data points (geom_jitter) and also a box-plot. The outliers look like actual data points or block the tooltips of the actual datapoints.

Research direction
The issue does not name a file or test. Start by locating the boxplot outlier rendering and tooltip handling, then check how the existing outlier_size and outlier_shape options are processed. Done means an option can suppress outlier points and their tooltips while preserving the plotted data points in a combined boxplot and geom_jitter chart.
