Extract search-and-open UI into OpenItemWidget (open_search.py), a plain QWidget with item_selected/cancelled signals. Silo_Open now adds this widget as an MDI subwindow instead of running a blocking QDialog, matching the Silo_New tab pattern. Improvements over the old dialog: - Non-blocking: multiple search tabs can be open simultaneously - 500 ms debounce on search input reduces API load - Filter checkbox changes trigger immediate re-search
