Description
I am building something like this: https://plotly.com/javascript/hover-events/#coupled-hover-events, but I can't find a way to reproduce this behavior with react-plotly.js
Fx is not present in plotly.js anymore (isn't it?), and I can't find a way to find a Plotly's Plot instance (not the wrapper's instance) in order to try different methods.
Does anyone know how I could achieve a similar effect?
What I have so far looks something like:
import {FC, useEffect, useMemo, useRef} from "react";
import {BoxPlotData, Layout} from 'plotly.js'
import Plot from 'react-plotly.js';
export const MyPlot: FC = () => {
const boxplotRef = useRef<Plot>(null)
useEffect(() => {
if (boxplotRef.current) {
// What now?
// I would like to do something like
// boxplotRef.current.plot.hover([ { pointNumber: 1 }, { pointNumber: 2 }, { pointNumber: 3 } ])
}
}, []);
const myLayout = useMemo((): Layout => { ... }, [])
const myData = useMemo((): Partial<BoxPlotData> => { ... }, [])
return (
<Plot
ref={boxplotRef}
data={myData}
layout={myLayout}
/>
)
}

Research direction
Start with the linked Plotly coupled-hover-events example and the react-plotly.js ref shown in the issue. Compare the wrapper ref with the requested Plotly.Fx.hover behavior; done means identifying a supported way to reproduce the coupled hover interaction with the shown component.
