[Tile] Selectable and expandable functionality in one tile

[Kritvi-bhatia17]

The problem

• Currently, our tile components are limited in functionality, as they can either be selectable or expandable, but not both.
• We need to determine whether to enhance our tile component to support both selectable and expandable functionalities.
• Current assumption: Combining these features will create a more interactive and user-friendly experience, enabling users to select a tile for actions while also expanding it to view additional information.

We discussed this in our design critique call. Here are the notes from that meeting:

• Further, determine if the product team truly needs a tile with both functionalities.
  • If needed: Consider various use cases and specifications to develop a tile that integrates both selectable and expandable features.
  • If not needed: Maintain the current tile component as it is.
• "There WILL be accessible considerations if you try to put targets inside a selectable tile (target size, label) but my point is that it is ultimately a design problem/question." - MIchael
• Reviewing various components for reference:
  • Data grid (C4IP)
  • Dynamic data table
  • Expandable with interactive tile

Hello! My team at NS1 Connect would love to be able to have a selectable and expandable tile. Our team would really benefit from this feature enhancement.
