Reply to a message won't work when the message is not in the cache

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

When I send a reply to a message, indicating the message ID, it shows an error and does not send.

Expected behavior

By indicating the message ID for reply, the reply should be sent normally.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

Start the API;
In whatsapp APP, send any message;
Capture the serialize of the received message;
Send a reply to the message indicating the serialize received;
The reply will be sent normally;
Disable the API;
Reactivate the API by reading the QR again;
Try sending the reply again for the same message, redoing step 4. The reply will not be sent, indicating an error;

Relevant Code

send_to = whatsapp_number@c.us send_msg = "hello man!" reply_msd_id = msg serialized received

ex.: reply_msg_id = "false_553111112222@c.us_ASD123ASD123JHASD"

const sent_msg = await CLIENT.sendMessage(send_to, send_msg, {"linkPreview": set_link_preview, "quotedMessageId": reply_msg_id});

When the message ID is from a message received by the API in a previous instance, when trying to send the response it fails. It looks like the message ID is not in the WhatsApp Web cache. It would be necessary to search for the message using the given ID to load the message object and then send the response.

Browser Type

Google Chrome

WhatsApp Account Type

Standard

Does your WhatsApp account have multidevice enabled?

Yes, I am using Multi Device

Environment

Debian Linux Android + iOs

Additional context

We could use searchMessage to find the message by indicating the message ID. With the message object returned, apply the reply for sending.
