When drawing boxplots with plotly one can show individual datapoints with the “all” option, for example:

```auto
# from: https://plotly.com/python/box-plots/
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.tips()
fig = px.box(df, x="time", y="total_bill", points="all")
fig.show()

```

I was wondering if there is some easyish way of drawing individual lines between points on the two boxes; to better show the situation where you have paired measurements.

Thank you 🙂
