I can't comment on that, but

you can do such thing with

gnuplot>>> splot '< h5totxt -s " " -d name' using 1:2:3

using e.g. the h5utils 
<http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/H5utils>, I use that for all my 
data.

So I don't know if there is really a need to implement this in gnuplot. 
I guess a very simple interface to extract only datasets by name could 
make sense, but not a general interface.
