    Remarks
    From time to time, some subsystems in ArcGIS Pro may need to query this method to determine whether a path to a data source can be opened by a data store, plugin or otherwise. For example, the geoprocessing subsystem may call this method as part of its "post tool execution". If this method returns true, geoprocessing may proceed to instantiate this plug-in data source in order to perform some system-specific tasks.
