Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Be able to download and import an audiobook via a URL. For instance, some audiobooks are available publicly on the internet. Would be nice to be able to import these via their URL.

Why would this be helpful?

some audiobooks are available publicly on the internet. Would be nice to be able to import these via their URL. Saves a step of downloading manually and importing manually

This is indeed a feature, I'm missing very much too.
It happens so often that I have a URL with some MP3 file, which I want to listen later in Audiobookshelf. Still I have to load it on my local machine and then upload to Audiobookshelf.
Please, add some kind of "Get from URL" button ❤️
