U030WD8R4AE: when logging metadata for an asset, is there any option to plot them as a bar chart instead of a line? U015C9U9RLK: <@U018K0G2Y85> issue Support bar charts for asset metadata

Hey folks! I think this is a Dagit issue (in that it surfaces in Dagit), but requires that we add some static configuration to assets that describes the metadata entries you expect to see and how they should be displayed. We don't currently have a place where metadata entry descriptions, types, etc. would be specified. I think adding this could make sense but should definitely be discussed at the product level. I think we'd want there to be more than just line chart / bar chart to justify the new concept.

Very related to this issue (or equivalent) is the weirdness of having cross-partition metadata plots for statically partitioned assets use a bar graph rather than a bar chart. If the asset isn't partitioned by time, it seems straightforward to use a bar chart. Is this covered by this issue - or should I file a new one? (Looks like this was mentioned here too: https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/issues/4152#issuecomment-843600126)
