Description
I'm trying to convert a ggplot that has alpha in its aesthetics (it needs to be variable), which works perfectly in ggplot, but ggplotly() outputs an error.
set.seed(666)
y <- rpois(1000, 2.9)
table(y)
holdThis <- as.data.frame(table(y))
holdThis$cumTotal <- cumsum(holdThis$Freq)
holdThis$percentage <- (as.numeric(holdThis$Freq)/10000) * 100
holdThis$y <- as.numeric(as.character(holdThis$y))
p <- ggplot(holdThis, aes(x=y, y=Freq, alpha = Freq)) + geom_bar(stat='identity', fill= 'blue', color="black", size = .25) + scale_x_discrete(breaks = y)
ggplotly(p)

Research direction
Start by running the supplied R reproducible example and the ggplotly(p) entry point, focusing on conversion of the variable alpha aesthetic. Done means the example converts without an error and preserves the variable alpha behavior shown in the original ggplot.
