The "Copy thread link" button doesn't work for "in-line threaded" spaces

Hello, with recent updates to GChat (https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2022/10/in-line-threading-in-Chat-spaces.html), there is a new "in-line threaded" type of space that doesn't work with how this extension handles the "Copy thread link" button. And Google just announced that they will be deprecating the "Organize the conversation by topic" space type on March 13, 2023, and totally removing that option by the end of the year (https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2023/02/new-google-chat-spaces-will-be-in-line-threaded.html).

Myself and my team love this extension and use it frequently, and we'll be sad to see it go when we have to make the switch to "in-line threaded" spaces.

Would it be possible for you to update this extension to have a "Copy thread link" button for each main-thread message in the space, even if it isn't a topic thread? I've checked the "Forward to inbox" button that is built into GChat and the links work the same way, they are just displayed differently. It would probably work best to just have a small icon that sits to the left of the other message buttons instead of the whole "Copy thread link" text being part of the button, in order to save space.

Thank you!

P.S. I'm sure you've seen them already at this point, but there are a number of people complaining/concerned about this issue in the Chrome extension reviews as well: image
