Using zarr group members as channels and layers within Napari

[d33bs]

Thank you for the fantastic work on this project - it's a pleasure to use! I found myself wanting to use the ome-zarr format through zarr group members that represent channels which may be loaded as layers within Napari. Generally I'm new to the format, so I don't know if this would be an invalid use of the format or how this plugin works with Napari. Would it be possible to do something like this?

Here's an example of what I seek to do which iterates through the group members, adding each one to a Napari view. Ideally I'd love to load the ome-zarr file without needing to iterate through group members, using this plugin to navigate through them as layers automatically somehow. Again, I'm not sure if this is a "valid" approach (please let me know if not!).

Many thanks for any thoughts or feedback on this!

The OME-Zarr format currently (v0.4 and the imminent v0.5) doesn't have a mechanism for linking three separate images each with one channel. v0.6 with the transform work of RFC-5 will likely be able to do this for you. For the moment, you should be able to define 3 separate one-channel images, but you will need some loading code to have them all listed as layers.

Thanks so much @joshmoore ! Understood, looking forward to v0.6! :^)
