Description

(Taken from https://github.com/rstudio/shiny/issues/1846)

I know that in python's Dash this is possible, see this page https://dash.plotly.com/determining-which-callback-input-changed

I don't know if in the python implementation shiny can theoretically do this or not. Wanted to bring it up to see if it might be posible.
