Description

I'm working on a Popup research page, and found that the "Dropdown" from Carbon has a base concept that applies to multiple "concepts" on the Popup research page. Right now I have to add like this:

"concepts": [
        {
          "name": "dropdown",
          "openUIName": "content picker",
          ...
        },
        {
          "name": "dropdown",
          "openUIName": "menu",
          ...
        },
]

which is sort of wasteful, re-declaring all the information in order to route this into both the content picker and menu concepts on the Popup research page. openUIName should be able to take an array of concepts.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Popup research page and the concepts structure shown in the issue, then trace how openUIName is consumed for routing. Done means one base concept can target multiple research-page concepts without repeating its other information, with existing concept data remaining compatible.
