Auto-create note from shared text

[itsmartashub]

When sharing selected text from a website to Material Notes, the note should be created automatically include:

• The selected text as content
• The source URL in the note
• The website title as the note title

For apps where no URL/title, it can just save the selected text (similar to other note apps)

Steps:

• Select text from a website or app (e.g., Twitter etc)
• Share it to the note app

Expected:

• The note is created automatically with appropriate content, URL, and title (if applicable)

Example (Another Notes):

Select the content of example.com website and shared to the Another Notes app (it's the same with Quillpad note app, but unfortunately idk any Flutter note app which source code could be useful for this feature :()

I use a library to handle that, I'll look at what data it provides and if I discarded some.

Weirdly, after testing with Another Notes on two different devices (Android 12 with MIUI and Android 14 Pixel) I get different results. Mine don't include the link, and as a title I get "Including link:" or "Sharing with". Pixel also adds " around the text.

I would not be surprised if the sharing functionality in Android was a bit of a mess, with changes across versions and manufacturers.

So I don't think I'll dig too much into this 😅
