Description
Hi, I am finding the toggle spike line feature on plotly very useful, and I am wondering if there could be a feature added to it so that we are able to freeze the spike lines in place (upon a click, or another similar event action). This new feature could be helpful if we have multiple plots in a facet and need to scroll down our page without losing the spike line. This could also be useful to "bookmark" a vertical line in the plot while exploring other data points.
Thanks in advance!

Research direction
Start by locating the existing spike line toggle implementation and its interaction or event entry points. Review how spike lines behave across faceted plots and scrolling, then define the click or equivalent action and the behavior for freezing and releasing a line. Done means the behavior is implemented consistently and verified while exploring multiple plots.
