[Paraview] Xmdf-reader: grid-centered attributes get read as point-data

Hi,

I figured out, that grid centerd attribute and node centered attribute
behave just the same (vtkXdmfReader.cxx: line 2519):
      if ( AttributeCenter == XDMF_ATTRIBUTE_CENTER_GRID ||
           AttributeCenter == XDMF_ATTRIBUTE_CENTER_NODE)
        {
        status = pointDataArraySelection->ArrayIsEnabled(name);
        }
      else
        {
        status = cellDataArraySelection->ArrayIsEnabled(name);
        }
      }

How can I add a data field, which has different dimensions than
cell/points, just to show it in a chart?

Greetings
Jens
