Description

### Description

When I open a Saved Search created by Phone Link for the phone, it displays `NotAFolder` as the result.

This was possibly fixed by #14302 in an older version, but on the latest preview, I still can't open a Saved Search.

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Open a Saved Search on Files Preview.

### Files Version

4.2.34.0

### Windows Version

Windows 11 25H2 26200.9457

### User ID

_No response_

### Log File

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening a Saved Search created by Phone Link in Files Preview, then inspect the attached debug.log while tracing the saved-search opening path. Done means the saved search opens its results normally instead of displaying `NotAFolder`; compare the behavior with the earlier fix referenced in #14302.
