I agree, and I hope something can be done about it. In my case I have to
extract thousands of spectra from the data cube so sending them from gaia to
splat is not very practical. So, when I use ndfcopy to get spectra out of a
cube I make sure to write into the file name the positions of each pixel
with respect to reference pixel, in which case I can always estimate the
position (absolute coordinates) of that particular pixel i.e. spectrum. It
is a pedestrian approach but I don't know of a better way.
