Description

Thanks for a great tool. Could you envisage this working against an S3 URI as well as a filesystem path, as currently implemented?

Research direction

Start by locating the code that currently accepts a filesystem path and mounts or opens the Lance table in the web UI. Trace how an S3 URI could enter that path, then identify the existing checks or tests for local paths. Done means the viewer can open a Lance file from S3 as well as from the local filesystem.
