describe the feature you'd like to see

When appending cobalt.tools to a URL of a supported service, it should redirect the user to the cobalt.tools website with the URL already in the input box. For example, here is a tiktok URL that links to a video https://www.tiktok.com/@USER/video/ID, appending cobalt.tools should look like this cobalt.tools/https://www.tiktok.com/@USER/video/ID. cobalt will take this URL and automatically use it for input to download, similar how web.archive.org works when appending web.archive.org at the start of website URLs.

If you want me to clarify on parts, please don't be afraid to ask. Thank you,
