Direct Scroll to Specific Message by Channel and Message ID

mahijendra opened this issue · 1 comments

Motivation
I often find it frustrating when I need to locate a specific message(could be an unread message) within a busy channel. It is time-consuming and inefficient to manually scroll through numerous messages to find the unread message, especially when returning to a conversation or when directed to a particular message.

Proposed solution
Looking for a feature that allows users to directly scroll to a specific message given a channel ID and a message ID. This will streamline the process of navigating to relevant content within a conversation.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Users should have the capability to either enter or click on a channel ID and message ID (possibly through an internal development workflow where these details are provided). Upon selection, the interface should automatically scroll to the specified message within the channel.
  • The scroll functionality must be smooth and position the message clearly on the screen.
