Description

As pointed out here currently it doesn't seem to be possible to overwrite the steps argument of an animation slider.

This however (besides the cumulative animations issue) would make the animation API much more flexible and things like this and this could be solved.

Research direction

Start with the referenced issue #957 comment and the two linked Community discussions to compare the requested slider behavior. Then trace how plotly.R exposes animation sliders and define done as allowing callers to override steps for the linked use cases; the issue names no file or test, so the scope needs maintainer clarification.
