javascript onclick event not triggering when clicking on plotly marker

[shosaco]

The issue is described here and on Stackoverflow.

The initial issue is that we cannot fire an event after clicking on the same plotly marker again (because event_data("plotly_click") naturally doesn't change. We are trying to work around this by firing javascript onclick events, but Plotly is blocking those when clicking on a plotly marker. Is there a way to overcome this?

Thanks in advance and best regards!

In the meantime I found a workaround by hard resetting the source of event_data("plotly_click") with shinyjs (described in the answer here).

This is now possible with event_data("plotly_click", priority = "event")
