Description
@wpotrzebowski pointed out that we currently cannot mix files downloaded with pooch with local files. It is all or none.
While we do not plan to support this for pooch (since it is only for testing and documentation), this is an important requirement when working with SciCat. For example, mask files or other references may be obtained from SciCat, while a user wants to process a local file.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how pooch-downloaded files and SciCat references are supplied to data reduction, then document the expected mixed-input behavior. Done means a workflow can combine local files with SciCat-provided files, including masks or other references, without requiring all inputs to come from one source.
