Is it possible to display content items on an admin listing page, rather than object types that are created via module classes?

Of course!

But, as is the case with admin customizations you will be responsible for collecting and displaying the data.

The Kentico Community Portal has an example (as always 😅).

This specific admin listing lets you search through all web pages across all website channels. It doesn't, however, check ACLs/roles/permissions, so it's more of an admin-only tool.

Here's what it looks like

Hi tstirtz, there’s actually a neat way to display content items in a more flexible way within the admin UI.

You might want to check out the XperienceCommunity SQL Browser plugin:

This plugin lets you create custom admin listing pages using plain SQL queries. That means you can easily list content items (even if they’re not module class-based object types) by writing a query that pulls exactly what you need from the database — like data from your content item tables or page types.
