Good suggestion, Ben. I did a quick test and I was able to take the chart export script from a box plot and put it into a test.html file in a module. Then I created a test.view.xml file next to that HTML file and put the following content in it and everything worked as expected (i.e. dependencies for the chart loaded and the plot displayed):
