Why doesn't the /chat-messages API allow passes context messages as a list?

1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing?

Hi, I am new to the platform, but while I look through the API documentation (as attached below), I notice that the user is not allowed to pass the context history on his own. The feature is important for customer support scenarios where the AI agent is not the only responder in the conversation (i.e., there might be a human agent and other business messages previously involved). This means that relying solely on the context history of the agent will not suffice to answer the user's question:

curl -X POST 'https://api.dify.ai/v1/chat-messages' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {api_key}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "inputs": {},
    "query": "What are the specs of the iPhone 13 Pro Max?",
    "response_mode": "streaming",
    "conversation_id": "",
    "user": "abc-123",
    "files": [
      {
        "type": "image",
        "transfer_method": "remote_url"
        "url": "https://cloud.dify.ai/logo/logo-site.png"
      }
    ]
}'

2. Describe the feature you'd like to see

I'd like to have the query field to support list conversations to carry the context (similar to ChatGPT messages), and in this case not using the context information of the dify platform.

3. How will this feature improve your workflow or experience?

a must for customer support, if no workaround is available.

4. Additional context or comments
