Research options for creating interactive plots for save_all_plots()

[sbreitbart-NOAA]

The stockplotr::html_all_figs_tables() function exports all available figures and tables into an HTML. Some have expressed interest in being able to explore those plots by making them more interactive. For example, Plotly and Observable can make interactive plots.

It would be helpful to know if it'd be possible to export interactive plots with html_all_figs_tables(), what our workflow might look like, and the pros/cons of this idea.

Related topic that arose during today's steering committee meeting: how to adapt html_all_figs_tables() to incorporate plots from other sources, such as diagnostic plots. Notes:

• We could try borrowing workflow from asar to search for all figures and add them into the html (rda, png, etc.)
• Could add an arg to include FIMSdiags figure plots path so that those plots could be located in separate place from stockplotr plots
• Tabs are very popular for separating different groups/families of figs/tables
• Look into using Quarto to make the HTML
• Don’t focus on adding captions yet (nice to have in the future)
