Research direction

Review the existing plugin behavior for resources readable by multiple plugins, using BAG files and the HDF5 plugin as the concrete case. Determine how the application discovers and opens those resources, then define a runtime selection mechanism and the behavior that confirms the chosen plugin is used.

Description

enhancement

Branched from: https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf-compass/issues/73

If a resource/file can be accessible by more than 1 plugin (e.g., all the BAG files can also be read by the HDF5 plugin), it might be useful/handy for the user to be able to disable at run-time a given plugin provide a mechanism to select one of the available plugins.
