[Feature] Smooth, finger-following gesture animation for photo view exit like in Google Photos

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

In Google Photos, there is this nice gesture animation when you are viewing an image and want to go back to the grid. When you tap on the image and start moving the finger, the image follows the finger and when you stop touching the screen, the photo shrinks from that pointer location and "snaps back to the grid". It's like you "unpin" the image from the main view and it then is attracted to its place in the grid.

See video.

This nice gesture/animation is not present in Immich, instead to close the photo window the gesture is the same but the finger is not followed and the animation is always the same, regardless of the finger motion.

Doing it the Google Photos' way would make it smoother and more appealing, in my opinion.
