Reading a Thing from a blank node in a SolidDataset

Search terms you've used

I've searched the issues on this repo and the solid community forum for posts referring to "blank node"

The getThing documentation has a variation for getting a Thing from a URL, and one for a LocalNode which may be the right track

Feature suggestion

I have a SolidDataset containing a blank node as the object of a triple and I want to be able to read it, ultimately into a ThingLocal object

Expected functionality/enhancement

If it wasn't a blank node, I could do this:

const newThing: Thing = getThing(dataset, getUrl(thing, property));

My dream would be something more intuitive and similar to Jena:

const newThing: Thing =  thing.getPropertyResourceValue(property);

Actual functionality/enhancement

I find that getUrl returns null because it's not a valid URL which throws an error

Use Cases

I make a request to the server which returns content in Turtle format. I'm able to parse that data into a SolidDataset containing the following Quad entry:

object: BlankNode {id: "_:n3-3"}
predicate: NamedNode {id: "..."}
subject: NamedNode {id: "..."}

Additional information

I'm in control of this server endpoint so I don't have to return the resource with a blank node - I'll workaround this issue by returning the object as a named node
