Description

When a URL is pasted to the description field in the database (kanban/grid view) fetch URL metadata to the field for example the HTML title of the URL will get into the description field which is the primary field, if there is a URL field the URL will go there and the meta description will go in the document.
The use case for me is when I want to create kanban cards from URL. I want to use the URL title as the card primary field and also keep the URL as a reference in URL field.

Impact

Those who want to fill database fields from a URL automatically.

Additional Context

It can get hooked to paste shortcut so when a URL is pasted it will fetch the URL get meta tags and fill them. To enable or disable it we can make it a setting for database.
I think it's better to implement it on frontend side but I'm not sure.
