Description
It seems there are a lot of shiny-related problems that could be made easier by being able to retrieve the current state of a plot.
Maybe this could have an API that is similar in feel to plotlyProxy()
plotlyState("outputId", session, ...)
where ... could be a jq-like path to get at certain attributes

Research direction
Start by reading the existing plotlyProxy() API and the Shiny integration in plotly.R. Determine which current plot attributes should be exposed and how the proposed jq-like path would work. Done means a defined plotlyState() interface can retrieve the requested state from a Shiny plot output.
