Description

What is your issue?

Originally posted by @agrouaze in https://github.com/xarray-contrib/datatree/issues/145
Attempted implementation in this PR

Having collapsible items (like xarray.Datasets) in groups repr_html_ would help to have user friendly overview of Python objects.
I am wondering whether this feature is already available or not.

Clarification: The ask here is to make individual groups collapsible in the HTML rendering, so it is possible to see all the child groups, without having to see the full contents of a group.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attempted implementation in the linked datatree pull request and the existing HTML rendering for groups. Done means individual groups are collapsible in the HTML representation while child groups remain visible without displaying the full contents of each group.
