Description
At least the customdata workaround exists, but we should do a better job relaying more information (do we 'black-list' pt.data/pt._fullData and let everything else through)? https://codepen.io/cpsievert/pen/rNNZpVo
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
plotlyOutput("category"),
verbatimTextOutput("info")
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$category <- renderPlotly({
sales %>%
count(category, wt = sales) %>%
plot_ly() %>%
add_pie(labels = ~category, values = ~n)
})
output$info <- renderPrint({
event_data("plotly_click")
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

Research direction
Start with the provided Shiny example and the event_data("plotly_click") entry point, comparing the pie chart output with the customdata workaround. Determine which pie labels and values should be relayed and whether the existing pt.data and pt._fullData handling excludes them. Done means the intended fields appear in the event data for the example.
