Description
I have some tests for figures which use widgets to update the figure. It would be really helpful if I could yield from the test with a figure and then update it and yield from it again or return the figure the final time.
(I am not 100% sure if that's possible with pytest)

Research direction
Start by reviewing how pytest-mpl currently receives and compares Matplotlib figures during tests, along with pytest's support for yielding a figure more than once. Define the expected behavior for widget-driven updates, repeated yields, and the final returned figure before assessing whether the feature is feasible.
