Customdata in texttemplate could not be found in heatmap

For a heatmap chart I want to create a hyperlink, which is provided in the customdata. For some reason it looks like the customdata fields is not accessible from the texttemplate field. Executing the sample code below with browser debug mode shows that customdata is not found:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
labels = ["a", "b", "c"]
z = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
customdata = [["http://google.com", "http://google.com", "http://google.com"], ["http://google.com", "http://google.com", "http://google.com"], ["http://google.com", "http://google.com", "http://google.com"]]
fig = go.Figure(data=go.Heatmap(x=labels, y=labels,
                                z=z,
                                customdata=customdata,
                                texttemplate="""<a href="%{customdata}">%{z}</a>""",
                                hovertemplate='%{customdata}<extra></extra>',
                                textfont={"size": 20}))
fig.show()

Start with the provided Python heatmap example and trace how Heatmap customdata is passed to texttemplate, comparing it with the working hovertemplate behavior. Confirm the fix by rendering the hyperlink with the customdata URL and checking that the existing hover text still displays correctly.
