Describe the feature/enhancement

Hi.

When merging mp3 files with m4b-tool, we get the a chapter.txt with the correct timestamps for the chapters, (assuming every file merged corresponds to a book chapter). I would like to be able to use lookup in chapter editor to just get the chapter titles.

Thanks.

If the timestamps don't match up then how do you know the chapter titles will be correct? I'm not sure what this would look like in the UI

Would have to listen to the chapter to be sure. Maybe, manually matching the lookup chapters to our file chapters. I would listen to the chapter using the preview button in chapter editor and pick what chapter it corresponds in the lookup generated file. Sorry for my English.

EDIT: Adding a manual matching button, clicking the button would open a lookup window and we would be able to select which lookup chapter it corresponds to. Captura de ecrã 2022-09-17, às 14 58 24

EDIT2: An easier way would be to let us download the output of the lookup to a txt file, so we could copy and paste the chapter names.
