Inline clarification for long explanations instead of bottom chat replies

When ChatGPT gives a long explanation, doubts often arise in the middle of the content. Currently, when a user asks a clarification question, the response appears at the bottom of the chat instead of near the specific part where the doubt occurred.

This creates a usability issue because the user has to repeatedly scroll down to read the clarification and then scroll back up to continue from the original point. If multiple doubts occur, this back-and-forth becomes inefficient and breaks the flow.

The current chat system is strictly linear, so clarifications are separated from the exact context they belong to.

A better approach would be to allow users to ask questions linked to a specific part of the explanation, where the clarification appears directly at that point (like an inline thread or comment), instead of only appearing at the bottom.

Hey @buddy, this is a solid idea, that back-and-forth scrolling breaks the flow pretty quickly, especially with longer answers.

Right now the chat is linear, so any follow-up lands at the bottom, even if your question is about something halfway up. That’s the gap you’re feeling.

The idea of inline clarifications or anchored replies makes a lot of sense. It would keep context tight and make complex explanations way easier to work through, especially when multiple questions come up.

I’ll make sure this gets logged with the team. You’re definitely not the only one running into this, so it’s solid feedback.

Curious if others here have found any decent workarounds in the meantime?
