Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
There are still missing methods on DataTree and I did not find an issue tracking those.
- Did I miss that?
- Is there a reason they are missing?
e.g.:
- broadcast_like
- dropna
- transpose
- ...
(I am sure there are more but these are the ones I need.)
Describe the solution you'd like
No response
Describe alternatives you've considered
We could use map_over_datasets(xr.Dataset.transpose, dt) but (1) that's annoying, (2) obj.transpose() would work for DataTree and Dataset etc.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing DataTree API alongside the named Dataset methods: broadcast_like, dropna, and transpose. Determine which methods are missing and agree on the expected DataTree behavior before implementing the scoped set, with tests covering each supported method.
