Enhancement

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, when adding or removing tags to a chat, the submenu closes after each action, requiring users to reopen it for subsequent tag modifications. This creates unnecessary friction when managing multiple tags.

Describe the solution you'd like
The tag submenu should remain open after adding or removing a tag, allowing users to perform multiple tag-related actions without needing to reopen the menu each time.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Adding a "bulk tag editor" interface
Implementing keyboard shortcuts for tag management

However, keeping the submenu open seems like the most straightforward and user-friendly solution.

Additional context
This enhancement would significantly improve the workflow for users who frequently manage multiple tags on their chats, particularly in scenarios where:

Organizing chats into multiple categories
Adding/removing multiple tags in quick succession
Managing large numbers of chats with complex tagging systems

The implementation should maintain the current functionality while simply persisting the submenu state after each action.

This won't be implemented as it'll break sidebar searchUI rendering, if you're like to batch edit tags, you can open the chat and edit them from the navbar.
