Update the docs: .LYRX layer files support standalone tables, not just layers

In ArcGIS Pro 2.9, the following functionality was added:

What's new in ArcGIS Pro 2.9
You can now save a stand-alone table as a layer file (*.lyrx).

Idea:
Could the layer file documentation be updated to reflect that change? Right now, the docs don't seem to mention that .LYRX files support standalone tables:

ArcGIS Pro - Save a layer file
A layer can exist outside of your map or project as a layer file (.lyrx). This allows others to access the layers you've built. You can share layers over the network or by email.

That would help avoid confusion for users.

Thank you for identifying this gap in our documentation. At ArcGIS Pro 3.4 a new topic dedicated to standalone tables, including the ability to save them as layer files (*.lyrx) was added. Please see: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/tables/stand-alone-tables.htm
