feat: Add "Copy Image" / "Save Image As" to right-click context menu on generated images #230

Description

Description

In the Desktop app (Windows 11, v0.0.20), when an image is generated in a chat, right-clicking the image does not show a context menu with "Copy Image" or "Save Image As" options. The image can be opened/clicked, but there is no way to copy it to the clipboard via right-click.

In the browser version of Open WebUI, the standard browser context menu is available and includes these options. The Desktop app wraps the web UI in a native shell, and the native image context menu items are missing.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Open WebUI Desktop (v0.0.20, Windows 11 x64)
  2. Generate an image in any chat
  3. Right-click the generated image
  4. Observe: no "Copy Image" or "Save Image As" option appears

Expected Behavior

Right-clicking a generated image should show a context menu with at minimum:

  • Copy Image — copies the image to the system clipboard
  • Save Image As… — opens a save dialog to download the image

Actual Behavior

Right-clicking the image either shows no menu at all, or a generic webview context menu (added in v0.0.17) that does not include image-specific actions.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11 (x64)
  • Desktop Version: v0.0.20
  • Installation: EXE from Releases

Additional Context

This is a common expectation for any desktop application that displays images. The v0.0.17 release added a "Webview Context Menu", but it appears to be a generic text-focused menu rather than an image-aware context menu. This feature request is specifically for image right-click actions (Copy Image, Save Image As).
