Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The user suggests adding a feature that allows opening documents or resources from the knowledge base in a sliding drawer preview panel. When a user clicks on a document or resource, instead of navigating to a full page or opening a new tab, the content would slide in from the side of the screen in a preview drawer, enabling quick viewing without leaving the current context.

Research direction
Investigate the existing knowledge base UI components in the repository. Identify how documents and resources are currently rendered (e.g., full page navigation). Look for existing drawer or modal components that could be reused or extended. Review the routing setup to understand how to integrate a drawer overlay. Consider implementing a sliding panel using CSS transitions and React state management. Start by examining files in the 'packages' or 'src' directories related to the knowledge base feature.
