Obsidian Publish: Navigation Title - different from page name

Use case or problem

A navigation link doesn’t need to be a long description, such as is the case sometimes with long file names. It would be helpful to have as shorter title for the nav item in the navigation index.

Proposed solution

add a frontmatter key that is used for the text of the navigation item in the navigation view, while still allowing the page name to be the title when the page is viewed. something like:

---
navtitle: page_name
---

Current workaround (optional)

It could be done with Javascript, but a bit hacky.

Thank you

I also think this would be a great feature to have.
