linklord was created out of the frustration of finding myself constantly digging up urls when writing markdown articles. I wrote linklord to automate that process. A side effect was that it also is a quite nice way to manage, and organize bookmarks in general.
See the wiki for more info and examples of use cases.
If you are using Arch linux, you can install the linklord package from AUR.
Or follow the instructions below to install from source:

When searching and appending links. Awk now breaks when
_spliton string is found.
some minor bugfixes and documentatoin errors. FIXED: when a title didn't pass verification, the wrong command was used to prompt for a new menu. CHANGED: selected actions are not stored in a history file, instead the action file itself is updated. CHANGED: _history_limit can now be zero, which means no limit.
Initial release.
Perfect software, no known issues
