Create a direct message to more than one recipient without having to create a new team chat

It would be helpful if we were able to create and send direct chat messages to more than one internal recipient under the "Direct Chats" section instead of having to create a new Team Chat to send a message to more than one internal recipient. Our team uses the Team Chats for specific purposes but sometimes a message needs to be sent to two or three people outside of a Team Chat. It seems silly to have to create an entirely new Team Chat instead of being able to create a new Direct Chat with 2 or 3 people.
