Description
ipyvolume has a nice implementation of this where there are 3 possible selection modes: rectangle, circle, and lasso (https://github.com/maartenbreddels/ipyvolume/issues/124#issuecomment-376805210)
This would probably be mostly useful for Dash; manually select a subset of points in a 3d plot and let the Dash app do something with that subset.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing 3D point-selection behavior and the linked ipyvolume example, focusing on how selections could be exposed to Dash. Done means a 3D plot supports rectangle, circle, and lasso selection modes and provides the selected point subset to the Dash app.
