Description

Is there any support for interaction between various widgets with crosstalk? (one of these widgets being a tmap object.) Given that tmap uses leaflet (which supports crosstalk), is it possible to use crosstalk right away with current version of tmap? If so, are there any examples available? Would using tmap_leaflet() be the way to do it? If not, is there any plan to enable crosstalk with tmap?

For reference, the guide on how to modify an htmlwidget for crosstalk support: https://rstudio.github.io/crosstalk/authoring.html
