Is it possible to add a hyperlink to data points in a scatter plot in Plotly in R?

Hi @haleh

It’s not optimal but I usually hide text with a link behind the scatter points (note, this only works when points are spread out).

p <- plot_ly(
    type = 'scatter',
    mode = 'markers',
    x = c(1,2,3,4),
    y = c(5,5,5,5),
    text = c("<a href='https://google.com'>A</a>",
             "<a href='https://google.com'>A</a>",
             "<a href='https://google.com'>A</a>",
             "<a href='https://google.com'>A</a>")
  ) %>%
  add_trace(
    mode = 'text',
    textfont = list(
      color = 'transparent'
    ),
    showlegend = F
  )

Thank you. Its hard to keep mouse in the hyperlink to be able to click on that. Is there any way to improve that?
