Hi,

I wonder if it’s possible to construct a Plots.Plot object from a PlotlyJS.Plot object or other backend’s Plot object 🙂

For example,

```julia
_fig = PlotlyJS.Plot(...)
fig = construct_from_plotlyjs(_fig) # typeof(fig) == Plots.Plot

```

That looks [like](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Missionimpossibleblurayboxset.jpg)…
