Feature Request

Now that Grist files are first-class citizens of Drive (#275), it woud be even nicer if we could open and browse them directly in Drive

Describe the solution you'd like
https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-static

grist-static gives you a way to easily render Grist spreadsheets on regular websites. Like a PDF, people will be able to view the spreadsheet, navigate around in it, and search within it. Better than a PDF, they'll be able to change selections, and experiment with changing numbers to see what happens. Every viewer has their own copy, and their changes won't be seen by others, or stored. This would also be a scalable way to show a Grist document to millions of simultaneous users.

Discovery, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy
Looks like most of the preview code lives in https://github.com/suitenumerique/drive/tree/main/src/frontend/apps/drive/src/features/ui/preview

Do you want to work on it through a Pull Request?
