But if it only needs to be short for menus ... just use it for menus and let it be long for other things. A photo 'caption' is often long. If the intention was that the content be short, there should have been a 'short-title' field.
The 'title' field is really, and unfortunately, an id field. There needs to be a standard field for long, mutable descriptions.
