Research direction

Start by reviewing how Folium renders maps in a Jupyter notebook and how its Leaflet.js integration handles GeoJSON content. Define what a supported refresh would mean for replacing or adding content, and how completion would be verified, including whether simple animations are in scope.

Description

enhancement

This is more of a feature request, as I don't think this already works. But it would be very useful to have the possibility to render a map, say with some GeoJSON content, and re-render (refresh) the same map (in a Jupyter notebook cell, say) with some other or additional content, later. It would also allow for some kind of simple animations. Or are there any other ways to get this?
