Description

In theory if we do this right on the technical side then there won't be any client changes, however this is an important enough feature to need to point people at UI-wise. We might also want to add a checkbox or similar for "[ ] and all related media", so could argue it needs design 😇

This issue also doubles as a launching point if product/design wants to find a way to push it forward (alongside all other features and responsibilities, of course).
