Description

It is not an issue but a suggestion if we could have this option in the coming versions to access the menu item under 3 dotted icon on the right or reaction & quote option accessible by right clicking on any message, that way using these features would be much more user friendly.

We can keep them where they are right now but additionally should be accessible with the ease of a simple right click on the message similar to FaceBook or WhatsApp chats.

I can explain further if needed, feel free to reach out.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing message actions under the three-dot menu, along with the current reaction and quote controls in the chat UI. Define how a right-click should expose those actions without removing the existing controls, then verify that the menu works consistently on messages and that Star, edit/delete, Quote, and reactions remain accessible.
