860180906 MDU6SXNzdWU4NjAxODA5MDY= 5175 Feature to retrieve the underlying store 11022336 closed 0     6 2021-04-16T21:23:55Z 2023-09-16T10:19:19Z 2023-09-16T10:19:18Z NONE      

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be useful if I could retrieve the underlying store from an xarray Dataset object. There was previously a workaround that allowed this, but that was recently removed.

python dataset._file_obj.ds # Doesn't work anymore :(

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally I'd like the API to be extended so the underlying store can be retrieved. Something like:

```python

dataset = xr.open_dataset('/path/to/file.nc') nc_dataset = dataset.store type(nc_dataset) <class 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dataset'> ```

Describe alternatives you've considered I'd be fine using the old workaround if that was still an option. If anyone knows of a different workaround I would be fine with that, but a better long-term solution would be an actual user-facing function for accessing the store.

I might be using the 'store' terminology incorrectly, but hopefully my request is clear with the above example.
