Description
xend in geom_segment doesn't seem to be formatted in the same was as x in hover text. This could be fixed manually using the text aesthetic but this feature doesn't seem to be available for geom_segment. Is it possible to either standardize xend to the same formatting as x or to add the text aesthetic to geom_segment? Awesome project!
As an example x and xend are formatted differently on hover in the following plot:
plt <- ggplot() + geom_segment(aes(x=as.POSIXct("2022-2-9"), xend = as.POSIXct("2022-2-10"), y = 1, yend=1))
ggplotly(plt)

Research direction
Start by running the reproducible R example with ggplot() + geom_segment() and ggplotly() to compare the x and xend hover formatting. Trace the geom_segment conversion and hover-text handling; done means xend matches x formatting or geom_segment supports the text aesthetic, with the behavior covered by an appropriate test.
