Multi-Attachment Support for Desktop

For many years on mobile (specifically Android) we have been able to attach multiple images or files in the same message yet this is not currently possible on the desktop version of the app.

Proposition
My proposed feature addition is clear, adding the ability to attach multiple files or images in the same text message.

Feasibility
It's clear the ability to do this in the backend is there but the desktop app just doesn't add this capability.

Benefits of this addition
Enabling this feature would further bring the desktop and mobile versions in line and would allow users to post in more organised ways. Adding capability would likely benefit moderators who will no longer have to delete multiple messages of long threads of images and/or files.

Example of feature on Android client

Potential further adaptions

One potential way this feature could be implicated is by allowing users to drag and drop or paste images and links straight into the text box and build a message much like this post allows me to do by putting an image in the middle of the text area. This would be especially useful for announcements.
