Add Polylines to Leaflet map based on a Shiny Click Event

I am trying to create a network on R shiny with Leaflet. I have created the makrers on the map and some user controls (slider bars and drop downs). Now i need one last functionality (stuck for 2 days here).. I want to be able to click a marker and add some polylines based on which marker i clicked. See below my code and the data structure i am using.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am extremely new to Shiny and stuck here for days !! :frowning:

library(leaflet)
library(shiny)
library(sqldf)

setwd("C:/Users/sn10203/Desktop/Referral Network")

options(viewer = NULL)

newdata <- read.csv('C:/Users/sn10203/Desktop/Referral Network/map.csv')
air <- read.csv('C:/Users/sn10203/Desktop/Referral Network/details.csv')


pal <- colorFactor(palette = "Set1",domain = air$state)


ui <- fluidPage(
    sliderInput(inputId = "cnt", 
                label = "Total Number: ", 
                min = 0, max = 1000, step =100, value = 2000),
    selectInput(inputId = "aff",
                label = "Affiliation Type:",
                choices = list("ALL","ACADEMIC","COMMUNITY"),
                selected = "ALL"),
    
    leafletOutput("MapPlot1")
    
  )

server <- function(input, output, session) {
    
    output$MapPlot1 <- renderLeaflet({
      leaflet(data=air) %>% setView(-98.35, 39.7,zoom = 4) %>%

Hi,

You can do it using the ids of your markers!
Add in server:

  observeEvent(input$map_marker_click, {
    click = input$map_marker_click
   markerID = click$id
  })

Then draw your selection of polylines according to the marker you have selected.

Hope it helps, otherwise I can precise.

Good luck!
