Description
### Your use case
Currently clicking a thread preview in the main timeline only opens or switches threads.

This request suggests to toggle threads:
Thread preview in main timeline click behaviour:
- Thread panel not open → open thread panel and show thread (current behaviour)
- Thread panel open with other thread → switch to thread in thread panel (current behaviour)
- Thread panel open with same thread → close thread panel (new)
Why would I want to do that? When I see a thread, I want to take a look and then close it to get rid of the threads panel and keeps things tidy.
