Link for new DM / personal chat message with pre-filled information

I’m running into an issue where each chat that is started this way is treated as unique even when it has the same people in it. For example if I start this chat:

https://mysite.com/chat/new-message?recipients=USER1,USER2,USER3

and then have a conversation, the next time I hit the same URL it creates a new group chat without any of the prior messages.

I’m generating these links dynamically and when I write out the URL I don’t have any way of knowing if the conversation is net new or the same recipients have already chatted before.

Can you share a little more about your use case? I understand that you’d like to link to the existing group chat when it exists, but the why will help me put that into context and learn how this would be helpful to your community.
