[$250] [NewDot Feature Request] Add route to WS chat in Workspace menu

[garrettmknight]

Slack conversation (hyperlinked to channel name): https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C07NMDKEFMH/p1730380892061729

Problem: Many users (like this one) are visibly confused about how to submit expenses for reimbursement to a workspace and find themselves in the Workspace menu during their search.

Solution: Let's add a route in the Workspace details page that navigates to the user's workspace chat for that workspace.

• Start returning the user's WS chat as part of the OpenPolicyInitialPage API call and the OpenPolicyProfilePage API Call since on wide view only the profile one is called.
• Add separator text below WS items in the WS details LHN that reads "Submit expenses using your workspace chat below:"
  • Spanish translation: "Envíe los gastos utilizando el chat de su espacio de trabajo:"
• Add an LHN row that mirrors the look of the user's WS chat in the inbox.
• Selecting the WS chat row in LHN will navigate to the WS chat report for that WS.

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Add route to WS chat in Workspace menu

What is the root cause of that problem?

This is a new feature request

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

1. We should get the policy expense report by filtering from allReports. This will be the policy expense chat that has policyID is the viewing policyID and has isOwnPolicyExpenseChat is true. We can re-use getPolicyExpenseChat function with ownerAccountID is currentUserAccountID and the policyID is the viewing policyID

2. After getting the report, we can add the text and LHN row below the workspace feature here

• The text is the description here

Add separator text below WS items in the WS details LHN that reads "Submit expenses using your workspace chat below:" Spanish translation: "Envíe los gastos utilizando el chat de su espacio de trabajo:"

• The LHN row will contain the avatar of the policy expense chat and the right icon, we can reuse MenuItem component or other component like this. To get the avatar, we can use getIcons function as we did here to get the icon of the policy expense chat. Then when we click on this row, we will navigate to the report screen with the reportID is the ID of the policy expense chat

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

@shahinyan11 feel free to put a proposal together if you want. If @nkdengineer's isn't complete and yours is we'll assign you.

[shahinyan11]

@garrettmknight Thanks. But @nkdengineer's proposal is good enough. I most likely won't propose.

[s77rt]

@nkdengineer Thanks for the proposal. Overall looks good to me. (ownerAccountID does not have to be currentUserAccountID as employees should see the policy too).
