 ### openThread
 
-Custom action handler to open a [`Thread`](./thread.mdx) component.
+Custom handler invoked when the button in the `Message` component that opens [`Thread`](./thread.mdx) component is clicked. To be able to define custom logic to `openThread`, we need to have a wrapper around `MessageList` component and reach out to `ChannelActionContext` for the default `openThread` function.
