Description

The latest version of ggplot2 has a new function that can make the title positioned with regard to the plot rather than the panel.

ggplotly doesn't yet implement this.

library(ggplot2)

plot <- ggplot(mpg) + 
  geom_point(aes(hwy, displ)) + 
  ggtitle("The placement of this title may surprise you") + 
  theme(plot.title.position = "plot")

plotly::ggplotly(plot)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied ggplot2 example and compare its output with plotly::ggplotly(plot). Then inspect the ggplotly handling of theme(plot.title.position = "plot"); done means the converted plot positions its title with respect to the plot rather than only the panel.
