Just ran into this. Unsure whether checking hasattr is better than just trying to read the object and catching an error - someone could implement a non-compliant read method, which would create other errors.

As a workaround, you could read it into BytesIO and pass the BytesIO instance:

```python import fsspec import xarray as xr from io import BytesIO

of = fsspec.open("example.nc") with of as f: xr.load_dataset(BytesIO(f.read())) ```

Also, here's the link to the code referenced above.

Ideally xarray would work with fsspec or pyfilesystem2 out of the box (to parse access URLs, for example). I've had to fall back to using BytesIO buffers too many times. 😛

Edit: You don't even need BytesIO, it works even with Bytes:

```python import fsspec import xarray as xr

of = fsspec.open("example.nc") with of as f: xr.load_dataset(f.read()) ```
