Can Appwrite add a feature, such as a version ID, to make image URLs unique when needed? Currently, if I upload a new image using the existing ID, browsers and apps still load the old cached version. Using a different ID isn't feasible in my case, since the old image ID is stored in multiple places, making it difficult and costly to update them all. It would make life much easier if users could add a version ID when uploading an image to Appwrite and get a different image url.

TL;DR
Developers are requesting a feature in Appwrite to add a version ID to image URLs to bypass browser caching issues when uploading new images with existing IDs. This would simplify updates and prevent the need to change IDs stored in multiple locations.
