Add support for geom_boxplot(stat="identity") in ggplotly or similar for plot_ly boxplot

I'm using ggplot2 to create boxplots which I'd then like to make interactive by converting to a plotly object. What I need to be able to do however is use my own computed values for the min, max, lower, upper, and middle values of the boxplot. This is possible in ggplot by using stat="identity" in geom_boxplot() and setting the values within aes(). When I then pass the ggplot object to ggplotly however nothing renders, I just get an empty axis. I think this is because plotly tries to internally calculate the quartiles etc when converting the box plot (which it then can't do because I've not given it appropriate data).

Would it therefore be possible to add support for setting the boxplot values either through the ggplotly conversion or directly using a plot_ly() boxplot?

Thanks

p.s. a simple example of what I'd like to convert can be found at the end of the geom_boxplot documentation (http://docs.ggplot2.org/current/geom_boxplot.html).

Comece com o exemplo da documentação de geom_boxplot vinculado na issue e rastreie como ggplotly lida com um objeto ggplot usando stat="identity". Compare esse caminho com o suporte a boxplot de plot_ly(). O trabalho estará concluído quando valores personalizados de min, max, lower, upper e middle forem renderizados como um boxplot interativo não vazio por meio de uma das abordagens solicitadas.
