This will be enabled by #6971, hopefully merged before the next release:

```python
arr = arr.set_xindex(""x_str"").set_xindex(""x_num"")

arr
# <xarray.DataArray (t: 4, x: 4)>
# array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
#        [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
#        [ 8,  9, 10, 11],
#        [12, 13, 14, 15]])
# Coordinates:
#   * x_str    (x) <U1 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd'
#   * x_num    (x) int64 1 2 3 4
# Dimensions without coordinates: t, x

arr.sel(x_str=""a"")
# <xarray.DataArray (t: 4)>
# array([ 0,  4,  8, 12])
# Coordinates:
#     x_str    <U1 'a'
#     x_num    int64 1
# Dimensions without coordinates: t

arr.sel(x_num=1)
# <xarray.DataArray (t: 4)>
# array([ 0,  4,  8, 12])
# Coordinates:
#     x_str    <U1 'a'
#     x_num    int64 1
# Dimensions without coordinates: t

We plan to relax this constraint soon, as part of the ongoing ""Explicit index"" refactor being led by @benbovy :
