[Feature Request]: Message Quick Duplication, with Format Options

[HumanistAtypik]

Feature Description

Currently, users can copy messages but cannot easily duplicate them into a new query box. This requires multiple manual steps:

1. Click copy button
2. Paste content
3. Edit as needed

Why not implement a "Duplicate Message" feature that would:

• Add a duplicate button next to the existing copy button in message blocks
• Allow direct duplication into a new query box
• Provide format options on hover (plain text/markdown citation)
• Integrate with the existing message block UI

The feature would:

• Create a new query box with the duplicated content
• Preserve formatting options based on user choice
• Support both Question and Answer blocks
• Use the existing UI patterns and components

Technical Implementation

The feature should:

1. UI Component:

   • Add a new button with duplicate icon
   • Use existing dropdown pattern for format options
   • Follow current styling (tw-* classes)

2. Format Options:

   type DuplicateFormat = 'plain' | 'markdown';
   
   

Use Case

1. Iterative Queries:

   • User gets a good answer but wants to refine it
   • Clicks duplicate on the question
   • Modifies the duplicated query
   • Gets an improved answer

2. Answer Comparison:

   • User wants to compare model responses
   • Duplicates an answer with citation
   • Changes model or focus
   • Compares the results

3. Question Building:

   • User wants to build on previous questions
   • Duplicates relevant parts from multiple messages
   • Combines them into a new query
   • Gets a comprehensive answer

This would significantly improve the workflow for users who:

• Iterate on their queries
• Compare different approaches
• Build complex questions from parts of previous interactions

Alternatives Considered

1. Enhanced Copy Button
2. Context Menu Option
3. Drag and Drop
