Should be great to add a button that permits to export the chart data in csv format, so that while exporting the chart as html users are still able to export the data used for the chart.

Research direction

Start by tracing the modebar implementation and the HTML export path used by plotly.py, then identify where chart data export actions are defined. Confirm how exported HTML currently exposes modebar controls and define done as a download CSV control that exports the data used by the chart; add or update the relevant tests if the project identifies them.
