It's a great improvement, but currently it will not work properly if the message is not in the DOM. We need to implement proper virtualization of the message chat to prevent jumping behaviors. @deepak0x is working on it, so please coordinate with him to achieve this. Meanwhile, I'll review this PR. It will at least work when the message is loaded in the DOM. |

Since #1111 introduces react-virtuoso, I can adapt the quote navigation to use scrollToIndex once merged |

Technical notes
This PR adds navigation to the original quoted message by locating the message element in the DOM using its message ID and scrolling to it when available.
Navigation works only when the original message is already loaded and rendered in the DOM
I explored whether there is an existing way to navigate to or load messages by ID in EmbeddedChat, but couldn’t find a suitable mechanism. If there is a recommended approach, I’d be happy to update the implementation
