Description

openeo_driver.filter_properties.extract_literal_match does not actually evaluate the callback/predicate process graphs in the properties argument to load_collection/load_stac; rather, it handles the JSON in a more mechanical way so it only works for the simplest of cases.

Evaluating these predicates against properties of features (client-side filtering) seems doable and intuitive but instead we typically translate them to HTTP params (server-side filtering).

Research direction

Start in openeo_driver/filter_properties.py at extract_literal_match, then trace how properties are handled by load_collection and load_stac. Compare the current mechanical JSON handling with the callback or predicate process graphs described in the issue; done means these predicates are properly evaluated rather than only supporting the simplest cases.
