My idea is to have the possibility to add some kind of input fields to a page and use the input from LUA scritpts.

Just like the buttons we already have.

That would make several usecases possible:

- implement calculators (enter a number and calculate something with it)
- Input forms to enter data for database like silverbullet objects, like `#person`
- enter search queries (e.g. for silverbullet or even other webpages by open a link with the search query)
- and many more 🙂

Of course one could add input fields via HTML-forms by LUA already. However, I have no clue how to access the user input, yet.
