I don't think that will work: ``` UndefinedError: 'year' is undefined ``` How would intake-xarray know to expand `year` without some configuration? OpeNDAP doesn't support globbing so unless we have...

I'm trying to avoid this pattern: ```python years = range(1979, 2020) ds = xr.concat([cat.climate.gridmet_opendap(year=year).to_dask() for year in years], dim='day') ``` If this was a filesystem, I could have intake concat...

As I've thought about this more, I've realized what I'm really after is a new feature in intake that would allow me to specify the range of a parameter: ```yaml...

We should definitely be able to make this happen. How would you access one of these assets using `rasterio` directly. The call stack in intake-stac goes like this: `intake-stac` ->...

We inherit the `_ipython_display_` method from intake's `CatalogEntry`. My guess is that there is some bits of metadata on the stac object that are not parsable by ipython's json parser....

@scottyhq - these sound like reasonable propositions. I'm not up to speed on STAC's use of common_name labels but this does sound like a useful feature to add. On the...

This sounds great @TomAugspurger! I personally don't see any good reason to avoid overriding the base class search method but we should ask @martindurant for his thoughts.

I think this is a great idea. [Intake-esm](https://intake-esm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) does something similar, providing a pandas DataFrame as an attribute on the catalog. This allows intake-esm to use Pandas query logic for...

@matthewhanson - does sat-stac accept python file objects in its open function? We could potentially leverage fsspec/s3fs to work around the catalog opening.

Yes! We should totally be able to do this. We need to map the stac type to the intake-parquet driver. Here's where that would go: https://github.com/intake/intake-stac/blob/d71b2d2b0ea2f8c89cb0310706c4de6d19406e17/intake_stac/catalog.py#L351-L363 Are you up for...
