Description
### Documentation Is:
- [X] Missing or needed?
- [x] Confusing
- [ ] Not sure?
### Please Explain in Detail...
I was about to extend an existing chart type with an extension like `class Custom extends BubbleController` and then register it
`Chart.register(Custom);`, according to the [example](https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/samples/advanced/derived-chart-type.html#derivedbubble-implementation) given.
But unlike what was written in the given example I realized, that you have to re-register all elements you're using or the following error appears _Uncaught Error: "..." is not a registered element / scale / .._ .
Others ran into the same issue ([ex1](https://github.com/reactchartjs/react-chartjs-2/issues/1014), [ex2](https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/issues/9769)) but I couldn't find anything mentioned about it in the documentation.
Would be nice to add this.
I was using version 3.9.1 when I encountered the error message.
Thx!
### Your Proposal for Changes
For example in the ["New Charts" documentation ]((https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/samples/advanced/derived-chart-type.html#derivedbubble-implementation)) change
`// Stores the controller so that the chart initialization routine can look it up`
`Chart.register(Custom);`
to
`// Stores the controller so that the chart initialization routine can look it up`
`// All other used elements and scales must also be re-registered, for the custom chart to work correctly.`
`Chart.register(Custom, LineElement, PointElement, RadialLinearScale);`
