Problem/Motivation
The current implementation of auto_entitylabel uses the title / label field of the entity to store the title.
But there are cases where it would be helpful to not change the stored value, but alter the output (with a prefix / suffix, e.g. from tokens or a static text).
It would be great of auto_entitylabel could offer a 4th option to do that. Using tokens this way the title could be rewritten before output, but still the user would use the same field.
Some typical use cases are:
- Adding a field value from the entity as prefix or suffix
- Adding a static prefix or suffix to the title, e.g. "What means [node:title]?" if you'd like to make a question from the node title, while the user still enters the term

anybodyMight be that this requires a core hook for the entity title to edit, I couldn't find a clearly matching one, but that's something I've been missing for a while now.
