Pinning the AxesToolbar (revisited)

The AxesToolbar was introduced about 6 years ago,

However, I never embraced it, because it was not possible (at least not at the time) to pin the toolbar so that the exploration buttons are perpetually in view. A pinned view of the buttons is something I prefer from the days when the buttons were on the figure toolbar, though I do see the logic of tying the buttons to an axes, rather than a figure.

I thought I would check back in and see if this pinning capability now exists. I seem to remember I was not the only one calling for this feature. So is there now a way to make the AxesToolbar perpetually visible, even when the mouse is not hovering over the axes?
