System Information
Operating system: Win 10
Graphics card: GTX 750 Ti

Blender Version
Broken: 2.8 Beta (4c31bed6b4)

Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Appended Metaballs do not appear in workspace - Only Orphaned

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).
New Default Blender
Delete Cube
Create MetaBall
Save file (e.g. MetaTest1.blend)
File - New -> General
Delete Cube
File - Append...
Select MetaTest1.blend from previous step
Select MetaBall -> MBall

No additional meta objects appear in Blender
Select "Orphan Data" from outliner menu
MBall appears in Orphaned Data outlier.

Expected
Meta ball from external file should appear in 3D Window and be added to current collection.

Confirmed but it does work if you Append -> Object -> Mball, this might be undefined behaviour as it works the same as 2.79

I'm changing this to Low priority due to the work around above.
UI Experience should still be that if you select Metaballs to append Blender should import the Metaballs, not just the data, so I'm not dismissing it altogether.

This is working as intended, note that in most cases you should append objects, not object data, although it's a common confusion that should be resolved.

Made a proof of concept patch to add this, D8792.

Note that orphan object-data can now be dragged from the outliner into the 3D view.
