Problem Description
The new automatic URL handling feature (commit
a2a2bafdf6) is a valuable addition. However, for users with custom tools that provide specialized processing for webpages and videos, both outputs are currently included in the context. This defeats the purpose of specialized handling and increases the context size.Desired Solution you'd like
Add a toggle in Admin Panel -> Documents to enable/disable automatic URL content extraction. This would allow users with specialized tools to use only their custom implementation, while keeping the built-in functionality available for others.

We disabled this feature entirely, we'll revisit this once we can come up with a better UI/UX.

@tjbck
maybe when a link is detected in the input, a check box shows up to enable including web page content
