#How to create a field that is not linked to a column and use its value in Flows

Hi, I am trying to create a basic "links" collection. Each link will include a URL, title, description, and a screenshot image.
I have already configured the fields, but now I would like to add a toggle (boolean) field that is not connected to a database column (I don't think I need the value to persist).
When this toggle is turned on, on item save/edit it should trigger the automatic retrieval of the metadata for the corresponding URL in a Directus Flow.
Is this feasible? I am currently researching custom extension interfaces, however I believe they are still tied to a column in the database and I am uncertain if they work on the Edit Item page.

You can use the button, also kind of a field that can be linked to an url to trigger a webhook
