url in command line

[coding-moding]

I would like to add --url command line argument to be filled in download link text box. It's convinient to use to automatially open youtube links from browser. I would do PR if I know how to set download_link from fn main().

Here is how you could add a cli flag (even tho I might change it to use clap later, to make it more scalable): https://github.com/BKSalman/ytdlp-gui/blob/main/src/main.rs#L12-L29

This is where flags are passed to the application on startup: https://github.com/BKSalman/ytdlp-gui/blob/main/src/main.rs#L80

And then you can use it from here: https://github.com/BKSalman/ytdlp-gui/blob/main/src/lib.rs#L310

So the steps would be like this:

• add the url cli flag
• get the value and put it in the Config struct
• pass the Config struct to the Settings struct (already done in the code)
• use the passed config in the new function to initialize download_link

Hope this helps :)
