The problem was: I have a map with a route, and each point on this route corresponds to a set of metrics such as speed and elevation over time. I wanted to be able to hover over the map and have the corresponding metric information displayed in another plot, as if I were hovering over both at the same time.
This is similar to what is described here: https://community.plotly.com/t/programmatically-trigger-hover-events-with-dash/42443 (from where I got this description).
I think it would be great if Plotly events included a "hover" option to give developers more flexibility. In my specific case, I was hoping for something like a shared crosshair or tooltip functionality between the Plotly chart and Grafana panels — or even between different Plotly charts within the same panel.
