Feature Request: Improvements to OpenAI Assistant Node in n8n

Overview:
This feature request proposes an enhancement for the OpenAI Assistant node within the n8n platform. The key improvement involves the ability to maintain conversation continuity and diversity by connecting messages to specific threads.

Current Node Interface:
The current interface includes assistantId parameter. However, it lacks the functionality to manage conversational threads effectively.

Requested Enhancements:

  1. Thread Management: Integrate the capability to attach incoming messages to particular threads. This feature would enable the node to maintain the flow of conversations over time, creating a more coherent interaction experience.
  2. API Reference: The implementation should be in line with the guidelines provided in the OpenAI API documentation, particularly focusing on the threads section.

Intended Benefits:
With these enhancements in place, the OpenAI Assistant node within n8n will significantly improve its capability to manage intricate, continuous conversations.
