Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

Be able to "grab" messages from the timeline, and "drop" them into another chat in the sidebar.

#### Why would you like to do it?

I've recently discovered this functionality in Telegram, and it's super smooth and intuitive.

I think that (depending on what element web wants to be, regarding feel) it'll really contribute to the UX and feel of the app.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

_No response_

### Additional context

This definitely requires Product to consider this, this is highly opinionated to a mobile-like design (as opposed to web), and probably works best together with bubbles.
