Support Import from IPNS Paths

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've got DNSLink set up with one of my domains and I use it across multiple machines. If I want to add files to it through the WebUI I usually just add the domain as a directory in Files, modify it, and then update the DNSLink to the new hash. When I add the domain to Files, however, it only accepts hashes. Trying to enter /ipns/fake.example.domainname doesn't work.

On a similar, but more minor, note, the bar at the top for entering hashes to get information on also doesn't support IPNS.

Describe the solution you'd like Entering /ipns/fake.example.domainname should automatically resolve the appropriate hash and then fail if it can't resolve it, rather than simply not working at all.

Describe alternatives you've considered I generally run ipfs resolve /ipns/<domain name> manually to get the hash, or I go to the domain in a browser and copy the hash manually.

Yes, Add to MFS from /ipns/ will save me a time during my daily workflow. Its important enhancement.
