Description
This would nice for the workspace. The <br> workaround requires a lot of data prep.
Perhaps there could event be layout options for hover text width (in px) and alignment (left|center|right).
https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/1834 Might provide some direction for SVG text wrapping 👍

Research direction
Start by reviewing plotly.js PR 1834 for the suggested SVG text-wrapping direction, then inspect the current hover-text behavior in the workspace. Done should include automatic wrapping without requiring
preprocessing and a clear decision on whether hover layout options support width and alignment.
