[Background Information]
For example, which users will benefit from it, and some usage scenarios. Any API design, models, or diagrams will be more helpful.

Currently, the official website shows compatibility with only three GUI tools:
DBeaver, which connects via JDBC and has TiDB adaptation.
Navicat for MySQL, which is merely compatible and usable, but it’s commercial software, and not many people normally buy the license.
MySQL Workbench, which is a GUI tool released by MySQL.

It is recommended to add HeidiSQL, which is open-source software and can generally connect to TiDB/TiDB Cloud. It is hoped that your company, PingCAP, will promote the addition of the TiDB type and adapt it like DBeaver.
