Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I update a bookmark's URL (if it expired or was moved to another URL, without redirection), the title and snapshot is not updated.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like the title and snapshot to be fetched again from the new URL and used in the bookmarks list.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually updating the title. For the snapshot I haven't found a way yet.

Research direction

Trace the bookmark URL modification flow and the existing title and snapshot fetching behavior. Confirm how updated content is stored and shown in the bookmarks list, then verify that changing a URL refetches both values and that the existing bookmark behavior remains intact.
