[Feature Request] Arbitrary post-processing of title about obsidian-auto-link-title

[NomarCub]

If arbitrary code execution is too much, people can do a great deal with regexes only.

Hi! i would really like this feature! Are you still working on it, or can i create a pull request finishing the implementation in the other branch?

+1 - adding a configurable map of URL regex to a templated title would be great for customization

[NomarCub]

Is there any progress on this? I saw there was a new release.
Also, this pull request seemed related, and was closed without elaboration: #98.
There are more requests related to this (#70, #34, #80, #84, #86). A lot could be solved with simple {{template}} and regex replacements.

Can you provide me with some other examples of how you'd use this feature?
I've got a WIP branch with a GUI asking for a domain, a regex to test against, and the replacement regex:

but would like a few more examples of how you'd intend to use it before I commit to that method.

For example,

• I'd use this for GitHub:
  • GitHub - [\w\d_]*/(.*) -> $1
  • would make this repo's link title GitHub - zolrath/obsidian-auto-link-title: Automatically fetch the titles of pasted links -> obsidian-auto-link-title: Automatically fetch the titles of pasted links
  • come to think of it multiple regexes for one domain might come in handy
• this for Wikipedia: - Wikipedia -> | Wikipedia, so this goes Blue jay - Wikipedia -> Blue jay | Wikipedia

But that's just off the top of my head. There are also some sites that have a lot of cruft in their titles. Regexes could also be a workaround for #22 to make the resulting titles now less ugly.

Hello! I've been pulled into a work project for the last bit, if you'd like to complete the feature I'd gladly accept a pull request!
