Notes:

You can click on the legend items to make figure elements appear and disappear.

The legend title will get grayed out when clicking on the first legend item. I could not find a workaround for that with the current plotly release (version 5).

The hovering for exons and CDS works best if you hover your mouse over the corners of the CDS/exon boxes.
