Describe the feature you'd like

When creating a new page in bookstack, add a possibility to import a webpage as markdown by using the webpage url.
Then the images are automatically uploaded locally and the webpage text is converted to markdown.

Similar how joplin web clipper works or this website.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

This feature is a quality of life improvement, for example, if I want to save a webpage that has some nice documentation, I have to use another tool to convert to markdown and then manually copy/paste or upload the images to my bookstack page.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Maybe as a bookstack hack.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

3 months to 1 year
