Description
We should have some option where you can "save" a chart's configuration to re-use in other places.
For example, you have have some scatterplot/linear regression visualization that you want to re-use across your Datasette instance - say one chart per month. Currently, you'll have to re-build the chart manually for every new data source (table or SQL query), but that can get tiresome.
This will likely use Datasette's new internal database to persist chart components across restarts.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Datasette internal database documentation and tracing how chart configurations are currently created for tables and SQL queries. Define how a saved configuration is selected and applied to compatible data sources. Done means charts can be saved, reused across matching sources, and remain available after restarts.
