describe the feature you'd like to see

I'd like Cobalt to support a simple query parameter so users can pre-fill the download input field via the page URL.

For example, visiting:

https://cobalt.tools/?url=<VIDEO_URL>

…would automatically insert the provided video URL into the input field on the homepage.

This would make it easier for users to quickly download a video without manually pasting the URL every time.

Bonus: Optionally auto-trigger the fetch/download process once the field is populated.
