Summary
Add an option to prevent Shlink from forwarding meta information (such as title, description, image, etc.) associated with tags when a short URL with that tag is shared. This would allow for more granular control over the data, that is shown, when a link is shared.

A configuration option within the tag settings, allowing users to choose whether or not meta information should be forwarded for URLs associated with that tag, would be a good starting point. The ability to override the fetched meta information with custom values would be awesome.
