This works:

using PlotlyJS

layout = Layout(width = 500, height = 500)
layout[:title] = ""
layout[:showSendToCloud] = true
layout[:showLegend] = true
layout[:showEditInChartStudio] = true

f(frame) = if frame < 10; "0$frame"; else "$frame"; end

frame = 1
xyz = rand(frame, 3)
plots = cat(scatter3d(;x=xyz[:, 1],y=xyz[:, 2], z=xyz[:, 3], mode="markers",
        marker=attr(color="red", size=1, symbol="circle",
            line=attr(color="red", width=1))), dims = 1)
pl = plot(plots, layout; 
    options=Dict(:showLink => true, :toImageButtonOptions => Dict(:format=>"webp")))
display(pl)

let
    for frame in 1:10 
        xyz = rand(10*frame+10, 3)
        plots = cat(scatter3d(;x=xyz[:, 1],y=xyz[:, 2], z=xyz[:, 3], mode="markers",
                marker=attr(color="red", size=3, symbol="circle",
                    line=attr(color="red", width=1))), dims = 1)
        react!(pl, plots, pl.plot.layout)
        sleep(0.5)
        savefig(pl, "a$(f(frame)).png")
    end
end

# Convert to a gif
# magick a*.png a.gif

Note that i use ImageMagick to convert the frames into an animation.
