Description
What kind of feature would you like to request?
New plotting function: A kind of plot you would like to seein sc.pl?
Please describe your wishes
As far as I'm aware, there's no way to plot columns in obsm directly. This usually leads to copying all columns from obsm into obs and deleting them afterwards again. Being able to plot directly from obsm would make this more straigthforward. I could use MuData for these things but it feels weird to use PCs or similar as an assay in MuData.

Research direction
Start by tracing the plotting functions under sc.pl and how they currently resolve values from obs, then inspect how obsm columns are represented. Add direct support for plotting values from obsm without copying them into obs, and verify that the relevant plotting behavior works for PCs or similar obsm columns.
