Remarks
A lightweight, UI-friendly wrapper around a piece of external data (image, model,
point-cloud, etc.). Instances are returned by IExternalDataManagerServer.getData and
displayed in the Manage Links dialog.
Important implementation notes for server authors:
Most properties are optional, so leave them at their default values when the
information is not available. The dialog will gracefully hide columns that
contain only default/invalid values.
All user-visible strings (Name, ReferenceType, PathType) must be localized
before they are passed to Revit.
The identity (Id) must stay stable for the lifetime of the dialog session so
that selections and previews remain valid.
Consumers of this class (typically the UI) should treat objects as immutable once
they have been handed over, and the server is responsible for creating fresh
instances when data changes.
