Pull request overview
This PR adds support for displaying descriptions in the default collection item card and ref elements, enhancing the UI with additional contextual information for collection items.
Changes:
- Added two new TypeScript model interfaces (UmbWithDescriptionModel and UmbWithOptionalDescriptionModel) following the established pattern for optional properties
- Updated default collection item elements to support optional descriptions by extending their type definitions and passing the description field to the underlying UI components
- Enhanced the example picker data source with descriptions for all example items to demonstrate the new functionality
