Description
Many teams reach their content through custom tools: menu items like "Blogs" or "Product Images" that an admin set up once, which open Content Search filtered to the right types. As Content Drive takes over from Content Search, those tools still send people back to the old screen.
This first phase lets those tools open in Content Drive. A tool keeps its scope, so a "Blogs" tool still shows only blogs, and everything else about Content Drive works as usual. It's opt-in behind a feature flag, so teams can try Content Drive with the tools they already have, and nothing changes until they turn it on.

What it covers |
| #37929 Add a feature flag |
The switch that turns this on, off by default |
| #37931 Open custom tools in Content Drive |
A tool opens in Content Drive, locked to its own types |
| #37903 Open Content Drive filtered to the last content type opened |
Leaving the Content Types editor lands you on that type's content, as it does in Content Search |
| #37930 Add a grid view |
A grid next to the table, for tools set to card view. Waiting on design |
Desired Outcome
- With the flag on, clicking a custom tool opens Content Drive with only that tool's content
- People can search and filter inside a tool, but can't widen it to other types
- With the flag off, nothing changes
- Teams stop needing Content Search to reach their tools

Later phase, not part of this epic: saving a whole Content Drive view (filters included) as a tool.
