Trigger a dash dashboard with a button

Hi everyone. This is a cross-post with stackoverflow since I haven't been able to get any answer yet. (https://stackoverflow.com/q/72898620/2309097)

I am working on a Dataiku plugin, where I try to integrate ExplainerDashboard ( https://explainerdashboard.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html). Both use Dash and I initiate it like this:

predictor = ...
X_test = ...
y_true = ...

explainer = RegressionExplainer(predictor._clf, X_test, y_true, n_jobs = 8)
db = ExplainerDashboard(explainer, shap_interaction=True)

app.config.external_stylesheets = [dbc.themes.BOOTSTRAP]
app.layout = db.explainer_layout.layout()
db.explainer_layout.register_callbacks(app)

And the Dataiku webview automatically load the ExplainerDashboard when I open the page. However, it has a timeout that is not configurable and some models takes more than the time limit. What I try to do is to open the Dataiku dash page where I have some information in text and a button that will say "Open the dashboard". Then when one clicks it, the whole layout will be replaced with the ExplainerDashboard.

I tried like this, but the dashboard opens empty without data in the plots (and the styling is also not bootstrap).

app.layout = html.Div([
html.Button('Submit', id='submit', n_clicks=0),
html.Div(id='container-button-basic',
children='Click to open the dashboard')
])

@app.callback(
Output('container-button-basic', 'children'),
Input('submit', 'n_clicks'),
)
def update_output(n_clicks):
    predictor = ...
    X_test = ...
    y_true = ...

    explainer = RegressionExplainer(predictor._clf, X_test, y_true, n_jobs = 8)
    db = ExplainerDashboard(explainer, shap_interaction=True)

    app.config.external_stylesheets = [dbc.themes.BOOTSTRAP]
    app.layout = db.explainer_layout.layout()
    db.explainer_layout.register_callbacks(app)

Do you have any idea how I could do that work with a button instead?
