NEW FEATURE: implement plotting a line when clicking on 2D plot

Summary

When clicking on a grid cell in a 2D plot of a 3D variable (or more), a line should be visualized (or a 2D plot in case of 4D data)

Reason

It helps to investigate what happens in a grid cells

Detailed explanation

Ideally, one create a new formatoption that can take the following values

  • False, nothing happens
  • True, a line plot will be generated for 3D and a 2D plot for a 4D variable, when clicking on a grid cell
  • str. Representing the dimension to use for a line plot for variables with more than 3D
  • [str, str]. Representing the 2 dimensions to use for a 2D plot for variables with more than 4D
