Description
Hi Maarten,
I've been following the new datamapplot addition which looks awesome. One of the great things about the interactive version is the ability to use layers that change as you zoom. While I don't think the interactive version has been implemented yet, the concept of layers may also be useful for static plots that have too many topics to visualise.
I'm wondering if BERTopic's `hierarchical_topics` function I can be used to create 1 or multiple layers at different levels of granularity to help with datamapplot? Is there a way that this could be done?

Research direction
Start by reviewing BERTopic's hierarchical_topics function and the proposed DataMapPlot static and interactive layer concept. Determine whether hierarchical topic levels can provide the granularity needed for one or more plot layers. Done would require a defined implementation approach or API, since the issue does not identify files, tests, or a concrete change.
