Description

At this time Raven doesn't display underlying key / values of UnknownSchema objects in an items metadata. The tree can't be expanded further than the schema root.

To implement this feature, we need a new C++ API to retrieve the data dictionary from the object. See https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenTimelineIO/issues/1234

Research direction

Start by reading OpenTimelineIO issue #1234, which defines the required C++ API for retrieving an UnknownSchema object's data dictionary. Then trace Raven's Inspector metadata tree and determine how the underlying keys and values should be exposed; done means UnknownSchema nodes can be expanded beyond the schema root.
