Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was doing a little prompt engineering for an image captioning task today, and tried using open-webui, but it was a very poor tool for this task because I had to start a new chat just to switch the image. It'd be better if there were a way to edit/remove/attach an image to/from any message, just like you can edit the text of the message.

Describe the solution you'd like
Buttons to edit/remove/attach an image to/from any message.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. Start a new chat each time (annoying)
  2. Copy message text, delete all messages, paste message text, attach new image (annoying)
  3. Use different software

A possible alternative for my specific use case would be to allow attaching images in the "Playground", since that it more designed for prompt engineering, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't yet support image attachments.

That said, being able to edit attachments in normal chat mode is a pretty fundamental + important feature I think.
