Description
Thank you for your work on updating mplfinance!
Using the deprecated mpl-finance, I was able to put 2 `candlestick_ohlc()` charts on top of each other (overlaid, sharing the same axes), and a table below the chart, all within a single figure that could be saved.
Now, I can use `returnfig=True` to export the figure and axes, but not sure how to actually use those later. `ax` is not a valid kwarg in `plot()`, as it was in `candlestick_ohlc()`. And not sure how to draw the chart inside a parent figure. Should `fig` be a kwarg for `plot()`?
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reading the current plot() and returnfig behavior, then compare it with the deprecated candlestick_ohlc() use of ax. Clarify how a parent figure and shared axes should be supplied, including the requested table below the chart. Done means two candle charts can be overlaid in one saveable figure.
