Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The user wants to be able to directly generate an AI-powered question card by selecting and highlighting text. Currently, there might not be a smooth workflow to convert selected text into a prompt for AI questioning. The feature would allow users to quickly create AI queries by simply selecting text within the interface, which would then automatically generate a question card with the selected text as the basis for the AI interaction.

Research direction
Examine the existing card system in the refly codebase to understand how question cards are created and rendered. Look at the text selection event handling to see how selected text is captured. Investigate the AI integration layer to understand how to send prompts. The feature likely involves modifying the selection context menu or adding a button that creates a new card with the selected text. No linked PRs or comments provide additional guidance.
