Feature Request: Allow editing/removing attachments from conversation messages #17206

Description

Feature Description

Enable users to delete, replace, or add media to an existing conversation and re-execute OCR/text processing using the same prompt, without restarting the chat.

Motivation

Currently, users cannot modify media attachments (images, PDFs, audio) in an existing conversation—they must start a new chat to replace media1 or re-run processes like OCR2. This is inefficient for workflows requiring repeated use of the same prompt (e.g., Nanonet-ocr for Qwen3 VL models), as users must:

  • Re-enter the same prompt manually.
  • Lose conversation context.
  • Wasteful for tasks where media is updated incrementally (e.g., refining OCR results with new images).
