Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing NDCollection's WCS and axis-linking behavior, then examine how common grids are handled during slicing; done means linked axes can be detected from WCS without breaking the existing pixel-alignment assumptions.

Description

Discussion Feature Request

Brain dump:

i.e. it could detect if a time axis is present in both cubes and link them.

This does pose issues with common grids in the current implementation as we are assuming they are pixel aligned for slicing. We could a world linking or something?
