Description

When slack is configured via bot token, it can only send images as part of the thread of the alert message.
Would it be possible to add more options ?
Whatever is easiest, between:
- same as old notification where the screen shot is a separate message that comes right after the alert message.
- or as part of the message itself (either via templating or via an option).

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Slack bot-token notification path that currently sends screenshots in the alert thread, then inspect how the prior separate-message behavior was implemented or documented. Done means one clearly specified option is supported and covered by tests for screenshot placement.
