Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4324

What would you like to see?

Sometimes I want to explore multiple directions from the same conversation. Currently, I have to manually copy content into a new chat, which is inconvenient and breaks context. A "Duplicate Chat" option would let me fork an existing conversation, so I can evolve it in different ways while keeping the original intact.

@romanwu10 I believe if you Fork the chat (from the drop down menu inside of a chat) it duplicates it. I could be wrong on how it works under the hood, but I believe this is what it is.

@Mikodin Forking starts another thread under the same workspace, with the history copied over as well. Re-reading this issue forking is exactly what @romanwu10 is looking for - thanks for bringing that up.

@romanwu10 To see the ability to fork, hover over any assistant message and click on the "3 dots" menu - it is a sub option, and you can fork from that point onwards - this functionality has been around since July via PR #1788
