Problem
Currently, with inline image preview disabled (disable_image_preview = true) there is no way to manually open an image or attachment for viewing. The message and the attachment viewer both show the attachment file name:
If instead of just the file name, it showed the CDN URI to the uploaded attachment, it could be clicked (or extracted from the terminal buffer with some other tool) to open in a browser or other appropriate application.
(For example kitty terminal's hinting mode)
Proposed solution
If instead of a file name, it showed the URI to where the file is stored:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1409999999999999741/1599999999999999922/rn_image_picker_lib_temp_2cd2d4e3-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg?etc..
the user could decide to use that to view the file.
Alternatives considered
Enabling image preview, but that clutters the chats and costs system resources.
Additional context
Thanks for your awesome work!
