Setting to add shared text to note "Content" rather than "Title" #332

Would it be possible to add an application level setting to select whether content added to Orgzly via the Android "Share" intent is added to:

I often want to capture a paragraph or so of text, or a lengthy link, but never want this to be the Title of a note. To achieve this, an Orgzly capture workflow via Android "share" currently requires cutting and pasting text from "Title" to "Content".

Making this a setting would avoid disrupting the workflow of those who prefer the current behaviour.

This would definitely be an improvement for that specific use case. However other sources than web browser can still dump large chunks of text into the note title field today.

Personally, I use orgzly-revived for quickly capturing stuff that will later show up in org-agenda on my laptop to be dealt with. The note title is effectively a 'note to self', or 'action' about what to do with the content. Web titles can annoyingly long or meaninglessly short.
