Add multi-line inputs to dialogs, or increase the length limit

I would like to use the dialog feature as a way to report players to the server staff using an in-game GUI. Unfortunately, the 32 character length limit for text input is way too short for an "Additional details" input I want to add. Perhaps this limitation should be lifted to something like 8192 characters, with newlines allowed? I'm not sure if this would work properly with command templating, but it should work fine with the custom click action.

    Good news: as of 25w21a, the limit is now 2147483647 (though it's capped to ~32768 by packet limitations) and you can configure multi-line inputs.
