Hvplot default widget type for groupby?

For browsing weather and climate model output, I’m almost always changing the widget types that hvplot generates for the groupby indexes, from the default slider to selection widgets. Is there a way to just set the default to be selection widgets (e.g. without adding extra stuff to the hvplot call)?

Here’s a typical example, where I would like both sliders to be selection widgets instead:

It seems to be hardcoded in this method.

As a workaround, you can update the pn.pane.HoloViews.widgets with the label:

import hvplot.pandas  # noqa
import panel as pn
from bokeh.sampledata.iris import flowers

flowers.hvplot.bivariate(
    x="sepal_width", y="sepal_length", width=600, groupby="species"
)

pn.pane.HoloViews.widgets = {"species": pn.widgets.DiscreteSlider}

flowers.hvplot.bivariate(
    x="sepal_width", y="sepal_length", width=600, groupby="species"
)

Thanks @Hoxbro !!! That worked great:
