Persistent Selection Handles and Draggable Box Select

Crossfilter.js has a great example of this:

@etpinard having read the original post #181 (comment) it looks like that was more about specific issues back then. The description doesn't mention the above select box resizing. Maybe that issue was renamed to reflect intention for working on it; let me rename it back so it sticks to its original feedback and let's continue with this this issue for the select box resizing manipulation.

Hello Plotly team, do you have any news about this issue? The example of behavior defined in Crossfilter in terms of persistent selection handles and draggable box is exactly what we are looking for for our plots. Do you think it could be implemented shortly?

This isn't on our roadmap at the moment but we're still very interested in this feature if someone wants to work on some pull requests or sponsor it!
