Comment from user:
To have nested levels of threads. I have numerous threads, based on the topics I have had a Q&A and research on. It becomes an absolute jumble and a pain to get to the right thread or to refer to relevant info. Tree-like nested threads will really help organize things. If a multi-level tree is not viable, at least 1 level with group heading.

@imtuyethan @dan-homebrew This structure likely introduces a non-OpenAI endpoint. I prefer to scope it at the frontend, like filtering and grouping by assistants, which have the same output but different inputs.
