aiogram version
3.x
Problem
Documentation say Ignored if the file is not uploaded using multipart/form-data. Thumbnails can't be reused and can be only uploaded as a new file, so you can pass “attach://<file_attach_name>" if the thumbnail was uploaded using multipart/form-data under <file_attach_name>.
So using Union[str, ...] have meaning only in Bot API documentation context, because aiogram for this use InputFile that after serialization turns into string that related to multipart.
Using Union[InputFile, str] can discourage, because usually it means that instead of InputFile can be used url or file_id, but not in this context.
Possible solution
Change Optional[Union[InputFile, str]] and Union[InputFile, str] to Optional[InputFile] and InputFile.
