Description
This is currently not supported, see https://github.com/scipp/scippnexus/blob/e33f2f4bb2a7843a5ed7fd31fc1761a6408c262e/src/scippnexus/nxdata.py#L493-L499. As all ESS files seem to have such sublogs we will either be stuck with loading the entire log, or maybe provide a custom application definition when loading NXlog to drop the offending sublogs. Or the mechanism needs to be added, but this may be complicated?
See also #232.

Research direction
Read src/scippnexus/nxdata.py around lines 493-499 and compare the related discussion in issue #232. Determine how NXlog sublogs currently affect label-based indexing and define the expected behavior for ESS files, including whether sublogs should be loaded or dropped. Done means label-based indexing works for NXlog files containing sublogs without the current limitation.
