Global photo-level comments instead of album-specific comments

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

Currently, comments in Immich are tied to the album context, not to the photo itself.

If the same photo is added to multiple albums, comments only appear in the album where they were written. We have to repeat the same comment or discussion in every album.

This feels counterintuitive because it’s the same asset.

Descriptions are not a replacement, since they are static and not meant for conversations. Comments are interactive and allow discussion.

It would be useful to have photo-level (global) comments that stay attached to the asset across all albums, while album-specific comments could still exist for context if needed.

This would improve usability for shared albums and collaboration.
