Description

Many times when I search for some R plotly documentation, I come across a page with a broken shiny app, which essentially renders that page useless. I usually ignored it, but I realize now that it would have been much more productive to make note and report it! So I'll start now :)

The app here doesn't exist: https://plot.ly/r/shinyapp-linked-click/

Research direction

Open the linked documentation page at https://plot.ly/r/shinyapp-linked-click/ and search the repository for the corresponding example or link. Determine whether the missing Shiny app should be restored or the documentation reference removed, then verify that the page no longer leads to a broken app.
