New Feature: Quick URL Pin Creation

We’ve added a new shortcut in the bottom toolbar — now you can quickly create a URL pin without opening the full form. Just click the link icon, enter your link, and hit Create — it’s that simple. This makes saving useful URLs faster and more intuitive, especially when you're in a flow.
