Description

Is there a way to remove the numbers when removing the line graph. It should display the correct data annotation when the particular legend is selected
3SJOc

library(plotly)

trace_0 <- rnorm(100, mean = 5)
trace_1 <- rnorm(100, mean = 0)
trace_2 <- rnorm(100, mean = -5)
x <- c(1:100)

data <- data.frame(x, trace_0, trace_1, trace_2)

fig <- plot_ly(data, x = ~x)
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~trace_0, name = 'trace 0',mode = 'lines') %>%
add_annotations(x = ~x, y = ~trace_0, text = ~x, showarrow = FALSE) %>%
layout(showlegend = TRUE)

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior with the provided R example using plotly, focusing on add_trace(), add_annotations(), and legend visibility. Determine how annotation visibility should follow the selected trace, then verify that hiding a legend entry also hides its annotations while preserving the correct annotations for visible traces.
