[Feature] Flag Links as Archives
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, there is no supported link type for pages archived by services like the Wayback Machine. Typically archived pages are used as studio links for unavailable scenes on StashDB. They are also sometimes used as Homepage links for defunct studios. I'm not aware of any archive links attached to performers but it's possible, maybe for Official Website links.
Describe the solution you'd like A simple checkbox flag to mark a link as an archive. Ideally we could use regex to recognize the Wayback Machine wrapper as well as the original page's domain inside of the URL. This way we could have archived links sit alongside active links in the same category (like studio links for a scene) without getting scrapers confused between the current link and the archived one. It would also allow us to still categorize archived links according to the page's original site (studio link, homepage, official website, Twitter, Instagram, etc.)
Describe alternatives you've considered We could just add "Wayback Machine" or a generic "Archive" to our list of sites, but this doesn't clarify what kind of page has been archived.
Additional context I asked Infinite recently about adding the Wayback Machine as a link type and this was his suggestion as an alternate solution.
