Description
I'm running into this a lot when we make ManifestDbs with extra axes that end up breaking the "loading data through context.get_meta function. (side note, would love to fix that too) The data in there is still extremely useful for meta analyzes and so I'd just like to load it.
Effectively, given an entry from the list generated by ManifestDb.inspect(), load just that dataset in the "correct" way.

Research direction
Start by reading ManifestDb.inspect and the context.get_meta path mentioned in the issue, then trace how a single manifest entry currently loads data. The change is done when an entry from ManifestDb.inspect() can load only its corresponding dataset correctly even when extra axes prevent the existing metadata path from working.
