Description

Would you consider providing separate elements for the chat input and chat output?

I'd like to have a chatbot that responds through tool use (like your sidebot), but I want to hide the SQL query and explanation behind a modal or tool tip rather than having it take up space under the chat reply.

Comparable interfaces, like streamlit, provide separate elements for chat input and chat messages (as well as a few other utilities). This can be helpful for giving the developer more control over the interface.

No repository files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the chat UI component and reviewing how input, messages, and tool output are currently rendered; done should provide separate input and output elements with enough control to hide tool details in a modal or tooltip.
