Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

I think it'd be great if the chat exposed a controller for more flexible handling of the following scenarios:

Attaching files (For example ClipboardData) - right now this is possible with a custom messageSender, but the files aren't visible in the chat before submission
Call sendMessage programmatically. For example there might be predefined prompts, which should be executed on click.
Manage focus of the Chats Input. Especially on Desktop there are Scenarios, where manual focus management might be required (Also the current approach behaves kinda weird)
