Description

It would be very nice to implement a public interface to access the nodal solution values and coordinates from a Trixi/ODE solution and/or solution files to allow people to run their own visualization stuff.

Research direction
Examine existing internal functions like `get nodal solution` in the source code under `src/`. Look at how solution data is stored in `Sol` structures. Consider implementing a public method that wraps these internals. Check the documentation and any related issues or PRs for previous discussion.
