Is the chart object from Chartjs exposed in such a way that say a custom JS action could connect a plugin (like datalabels) to it? I tried looking at devtools and spelunking the wwLib object without great success.

I also looked at the component on github ([chartjs-pie/src/wwElement.vue at main · weweb-assets/chartjs-pie · GitHub](https://github.com/weweb-assets/chartjs-pie/blob/main/src/wwElement.vue)) which looks like the instance is wrapped up inside the vue app and not mounted on window or anywhere in particular.

I appreciate the answer might be no, but it would be super great if it were a yes, so I ask!

Hi @raydeck 👋

It’s not possible right now. We have it on the roadmap but not prioritized yet so no ETA.

I’ve just updated our internal ticket so the product team is aware of your request.
