Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how Plotly Express handles dataframe columns and how selectedpoints is passed through to plotly.js, then read plotly.js issue #5445. Done means a boolean column can be accepted for selectedpoints and converted to point indices, unless the upstream limitation must be resolved first.
