Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When working with other users, it would be nice to be able to share alert data in such a way that false positives, etc... can be reviewed offline and then re-imported into a running session.

This would also be useful when collaborating and needing to show someone exactly what you expect without needing to either take control of their screen or attempt to walk them through the menus.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, this would be part of the HAR import/export function since all of the necessary traffic is captured.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I haven't come up with anything that would meet this use case at this point.

A post-processing GUI that manipulates an exported report could work but it seems like duplicative effort given that the functionality is already in the main ZAP GUI.

Additional context

While I don't have a ton of time to spend on this, I would be interested in helping if someone can point me at the right bits of code to get started.

Research direction

Start by tracing the HAR import/export path and alert handling in the main ZAP GUI. Determine how alert data could be represented for offline review and re-imported into a running session; done means a defined workflow supports sharing, post-processing, and importing alerts without duplicating the existing GUI.
