How to set a selected point in a surface chart?

I have created a surface chart. By default, I can hover over different areas of the surface which sets a selected point on the chart.

I would like to set a selected point on the chart from an external UI control, is that possible?

This is my first post in the forms, thank you for building Plot.ly!

Not at the moment unfortunately.
