Description

What problem does your feature request solve?

If you have a two plot sequences side by side they currently have separate sliders. This makes comparing plots at the same step more effort as both sliders need to be changed.

Describe the solution you'd like

There should be some way to link the sliders, so changing one changes the other. This should be togglable so it is also possible to move the sliders separately.

Describe alternatives you've considered

How will this interact with two plots that have different sequence coordinates? How about the same coordinate but non-overlapping?

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of side-by-side plots and their sliders. Clarify how linked sliders should behave for different or non-overlapping sequence coordinates, and make linking optional. Done means changing one slider updates the other when enabled while separate movement remains available.
