Description
Please allow the assistant to display clickable options in a response. When a user clicks an option, it should automatically become a new user message and start the normal response flow.
This should support multiple rounds of choices and work across the Codex Agent, VS Code extension, and CLI. The interaction should be separate from command approval and should not trigger tools, file changes, or permission requests.

Research direction
Start by mapping how responses and user messages flow through the Codex Agent, VS Code extension, and CLI, then compare that with the existing command-approval interaction. Done means clickable options can produce ordinary user messages across multiple rounds without invoking tools, changing files, or requesting permissions.
