Making an assignment that allows students to choose essay title

I assign essays to my class often. But, I want to do this in Canvas. Wonder if this can be done.

I want the students to choose from a list of topics I give. Once they have chosen, they claim "ownership" of that topic and no other student can have that topic. Either the topic is removed from the list, or the student is told the topic is taken. Once the student chooses their topic and approves, they see a master list of topics and the students associated with the specific topic. Is there an app for this or is there a configuration in Canvas that this can be done? Thanks.
