Description

variation on #421 :
allow specifying spatial extent with a single string, e.g. location/city/region name.
I guess there are plenty of APIs to convert such a location name to lon-lat coords or even bbox

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #421 and the existing spatial-extent handling in the Python client. Determine how a location name should be converted to coordinates or a bounding box, which geocoding API is appropriate, and how the single-string form should be specified. Done means the behavior and provider choice are defined and the feature is supported with tests.
