Description

Hello, sometimes links with the same label (i.e. type) may stretch across multiple levels of a sankey diagram.
For instance in the following picture the links in red have the same label: inkedsankey-align_li
I don't believe that there is any option at the moment to align these links so that they become continuous right?

Cheers

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the linked Sankey example in plotly.js and tracing the Sankey link layout for links sharing a label across levels. Done means providing a way to align those links continuously, with the behavior verified in the relevant Sankey tests.
