Research direction
Start by reading the existing ThingClient.from_url flow and how Thing Descriptions are discovered. Define the connection API around a shared HTTP client, listing available things and creating ThingClients from the server. Done means the proposed usage can discover server things and reuse one connection for multiple clients.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
We can use ThingClient.from_url but f we have lots of things on the same server then we want to use the same httpx.Client, but actually knowing what is on the server we can looks the Thing Descriptions. It may be nice to have some form of LabThingsClient or ServerConnection or something with a better name so I create a connection and ask that connection for the ThingClients in cleaner code:
>>> microscope = lt.remote_connection("http://microscope.local:5000")
>>> microscope.available_things
["camera", "stage", "syestem"]
>>> stage_client = microscope.get_thing_client("camera")
>>> stage_client.position
