rjbull -- just a few advantages I see for linksbase --
* Browser independence (for those of us who, for one reason or other) switch among browsers frequently and don't want to import/export booksmarks back and forth constantly to synch among browsers

I see it can merge the bookmark files from different sources, which can be useful. Sometimes I'd want to keep them separate, and be able to move them from file to file; I suppose that means something like BookmarkBuddy combined with a links stash. Also I'd want to be able to open links in a chosen browser rather than the local Windows default one, preferably by a hotkey or simple menu.
I'm never quite sure of the best way to store links. Quite a lot of moderately interesting stuff that I don't use frequently I keep in notekeepers, mostly
MemPad or
JBLab Secure Notes. Neither are perfect, but have useful features of their own (e.g. both can be enrypted), and both can be portable. Lately you seem particularly keen on portability: care to start a new thread on it?
