Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to use some form of pattern matching or regex to exclude messages from appearing in the chat widget.
Additional context
Prior to the official chat widget, I'd been using one similar to the one shared in the Discord, which saw incoming messages as events and then forwarded them to the widget. This allowed me to filter certain messages before they ever hit the widget.
In my case, I was filtering out any message with a URL, anything that started with an exclamation point (commands), and a handful of status messages that Stream Avatars tosses into chat. This helped keep the on-screen chat cleaner and more focused.
I imagine others, especially those with a lot of stream interactive elements that rely on chat, might appreciate this.
