Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by reviewing how data currently passes from Quarto to Observable and the repository's existing htmlwidget patterns; done means users can use Observable Plot from R code alone through an htmlwidget.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I don't know if this is possible, but it would be really neat to have a tighter integration between R and Observable Plot as an htmlwidget.

It's currently possible to pass data to Observable in Quarto, and this is really powerful, but an htmlwidget would allow users to use Observable Plot from R code alone.
