Description

This code posted in Return datapoints selected in a plotly scatterplot
(and substituting the unavailable highlight_unit() by highlight_key() ) displays selected cases

#d <- highlight_unit(iris)
d <- highlight_key(iris)
a <- ggplotly(ggplot(data = d, aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Petal.Width)) + geom_point()) %>%
  highlight("plotly_selected", dynamic = TRUE)
options(persistent = TRUE)
p <- datatable(d)
bscols(widths = c(6, 4), a, p)

Could the selected subset be saved as a new dataframe?

Research direction

Start by running the reproducible R example using ggplotly(), highlight("plotly_selected", dynamic = TRUE), and datatable(d). Determine how the selected subset can be exposed as a new data frame, then verify that the resulting object contains only the selected iris rows.
