Select on 2 dimensional indices/How to define indices correctly?

[meteoDaniel]

MCVE Code Sample

ds = xarray.tutorial.open_dataset('rasm').load() 
ds.sel(yc=50, xc=50, method='nearest') 

Expected Output

An interpolated timeseries of data closest to 50, 50.

Problem Description

How do I have to define the indices that I can select on multi dimensional indices?

Output of xr.show_versions()

# Paste the output here xr.show_versions() here xarray==0.11.3

[meteoDaniel]

Is anybody able to answer this question?

This is not possible right now unfortunately. It should be possible to implement once #1603 is done.

In the mean time, you could use where (https://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/indexing.html#masking-with-where)
