I am searching for a way to actively share dynamical graphics with notebooks (it’s important that they’re notebooks) that are also responsive!

so far I came across jupyterlite which seem to work ok with matplotlib and ipympl but doesn’t work what so ever with panel and holoviz (other than bokeh), it complains about tornado not being supported.

I looked around panel’s github issues for discussion relating to that and I found about panelite `https://panelite.holoviz.org/lab/index.html` but I can’t find a way to link to it and open a url like i found for jupyterlite. eg;  
`https://jupyter.org/try-jupyter/lab/index.html?fromURL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YoraiLevi/interactive_matplotlib/refs/heads/master/examples/draggable_line_matplotlib_widgets.ipynb`  
will load the notebook directly from this url.

Is there a way to load a notebook from url with panelite (not “file \> open from url” but an actual url)?

`https://panelite.holoviz.org/lab/index.html?path=...`

e.g.

`https://panelite.holoviz.org/lab/index.html?path=Reset_Jupyterlite.ipynb`

> **[JupyterLite](https://panelite.holoviz.org/lab/index.html?path=Reset_Jupyterlite.ipynb)**

This opens a notebook that already exists in the environment not one from random url source. I want to point it to a url for fetching
