make `%matplotlib widget` behave like `inline`?

I have a notebook in Jupyter Lab, so far using the default matplotlib backend, which in this context I believe is inline. When I have a sequence of plotting commands (pyplot.plt etc.), they combine into a figure that is shown after the respective code cell. Also, @interact works as expected.

I now wanted to zoom in, which inline does not support, so I issued %matplotlib widget. The figures are now zoomable alright, but I don't have that neat behavior where plotting code in one cell contributed to the following figure output cell, and doesn't modify anything else. And @interact, instead of producing new (versions of) a figure, now puts everything on top of each other.

From reading around I realize that this is the intended behavior. The thing is, I don't like it. So my question is: Is there a way to make widget behave like inline?

If there is not, is there a guide that tells me how to modify my code so that plot commands affect only the next output cell, and @interact updates instead of adds?

Beginne damit, das Verhalten in Jupyter Lab mit %matplotlib widget, sequentiellen Plot-Befehlen und @interact zu reproduzieren, und vergleiche es anschließend mit dem standardmäßigen inline backend. Ermittle, ob die angeforderte zellenbezogene Ausgabe und die aktualisierende Interaktion unterstützt werden können; abgeschlossen ist die Untersuchung, wenn ein unterstützter Ansatz dokumentiert oder die erforderliche Verhaltensänderung eindeutig identifiziert wurde.
