Ability to add to library and trigger downloads from inside mihon

[SyntheticGoop]

Describe your suggested feature

The way I use suwayomi right now is as a caching proxy to a bigger library than I can keep on my phone, and also as an archiver.

It is slightly inconvenient that the steps I have to take to set up that workflow is to

1. Go to suwayomi directly and add + tag the manga
2. Trigger the download on suwayomi
3. Go into mihon
4. Add to library

Will it be possible for the following workflowsto exist

1. Search in mihon directly, proxying the search through the extensions in suwayomi.
2. Add and tag inside mihon.
3. When multiple chapters are read/downloaded in mihon and proxied through suwayomi, add to library in suwayomi and start downloading all.

Why not simply use Suwayomi-JUI or Sorayomi on your phone?

Hey @dear-clouds thanks for the recommendations, the two options fulfill all of the requirements but perform quite badly in the reading of manga department.

Specifically, Suwayomi-JUI's ux for reading manga lacks the simplest features like quick access settings for manga layout and looks unmaintained in favor of Sorayomi, which displays noticable frame drops from scrolling of manga (I'm not an android dev so I can only speculate the root cause of the performance issues, perhaps it's flutter or poor virtualization implementations?).

Regardless I think it's worthwhile to improve the usability of the tachiyomi plugin even while parallel development efforts are underway with the intent of creating a new application that can natively handle syncing requirements.

I would love to contribute to creating these features but it'll be my first time writing anything android or java related. As long as the features are aligned with this project.
