Dear (py)GMT dev team and friends,

Let me present you an interactive solution developed during this summer by an MSc student, available on her github page: [https://github.com/chelle0425/IntPyGMT](https://github.com/chelle0425/IntPyGMT)

It allows users making their pygmt (or gmt) figure interactive in jupyter environment by getting an accurate coordinate on mouse click - see demo below where this is linked to a time series viewer function.

Note any GMT projection can be used here since the tool calls the **mapproject** (via clib API - [see solution](https://github.com/chelle0425/IntPyGMT/blob/b793cc9533c1ff4567eb29283d944d3819ace10d/python/IntPyGMT_overlay.py#L207C37-L207C47)).

I hope you will like this and curious about your use case feedback :3
