Link and Description/Note fields on Spools #165

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be great if there were a few more fields available on Spools. The fields I am thinking of in particular are:

Describe the solution you'd like

In addition to the above, it would probably be a good idea to have a "spool details" dialog which can be opened from a button in the sidebar. This would display the various information fields (exisitng and the above) for the filament in read-only mode for information.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Separate information sources (e.g. purchase history).

Another sub-feature I'd like to add to the two fields above:

Could I add to this a Notes field for Profiles? It would be a helpful place to store info such as spool weight without filament, so it's easy to weigh the current spool and edit the remaining amount in Filament Manager after forgetting to set it/choosing the wrong spool for a print.

I would like a notes area too. In my use case I have two printers each with printer specific settings per filament (i.e., linear advance k factor). Rather than storing all these settings in my slicer, it would be nice to have them stored for the filament spool or profile.
