Plotly/Dash技术问询：如何实现数据表行索引唯一或正确高亮选中行？

这个问题的核心在于Plotly散点图中每个分类（trace）的pointIndex是独立从0开始计数的，而数据表的行索引是全局唯一的。当你选中不同分类里的点时，它们的pointIndex可能重复，导致错误地高亮同一行。

要解决这个问题，我们可以给每行数据添加一个全局唯一标识，并在散点图的自定义数据中携带这个标识，选中时通过该标识匹配数据表的对应行。

关键改动说明 #

1. 添加唯一ID列：给DataFrame新增unique_id列，用原始索引作为全局唯一标识，确保每行数据都有不重复的标记。
2. 携带唯一ID到散点图：在custom_data中加入unique_id，这样选中点时能获取到对应行的唯一标识。
3. 隐藏ID列（可选）：如果不需要在数据表中显示unique_id，可以在列定义中设置hidden=True。
4. 根据唯一ID匹配行：在回调函数中，从选中点的customdata里提取unique_id，用这个ID来定位数据表的行，彻底解决pointIndex重复导致的高亮错误问题。

这样修改后，无论你选中哪个分类里的点，数据表都会准确高亮对应的行，不会再出现重复或错误高亮的情况。
