No need to invent an idiosyncratic feature for this---just save a
copy of the form and edit the values to taste.

The only problem with this right now is that some browsers don't seem
to be very smart in the way they save HTML into local files.
Specifically, they don't resolve relative links, even though they
know perfectly well what the full URLs are, and even though the
document is useless without such resolution. Right now you have to
edit the URLs in the saved file yourself.
