Allow users to pre-fill the entity editor, like in the musicbrainz release editor.
We already currently do some of that to allow pre-filling the work contained in a new edition, or a new work written by an author:

]
This feature should be extended to allow pre-filling all fields, to allow for the use of userscripts for example.
Contrarily to the example above where we create an entity with an initial relationship by passing a BBID in the URL parameters, a new route should be created that accepts POST requests with URL encoded form data (application/x-www-form-urlencoded).
The POST request should return an HTML page with a pre-filled entity editor
