Option to Expand Container File References as Direct Connections

Currently, the iModel Connector will include references that are displayed within the Container file. However, there is no option to make those references direct Connections to the iModel.

Would like the option to allow the Connection to expose the references (similar to Make Direct Attachments with Live Nesting in MicroStation) as individual Connections to the iModel. This would resolve the current issue with failed Materials propagation when using Container files and give us more granular control over the iModel.

This is also a solution that is easier to manage than selecting all the individual model files when initiating the Connection. The iModel Connector should retain the connection to the Container file and automatically expose the references as direct Connections to the iModel with this option.
