Hi @jarun

buku is a nice piece of innovation in command-line organization which I came across while searching for a command-line-bookmarks-tool which can replace reference managers like zotero/jabref.

I dared to post this feature request when I didn't find in something like the following in #343

Won't it be good to extend this script similar to zotero for capturing metadata as well as associated files, if required?

This could be a great feature-set to a lot of people for referrals from the historical bookmarks locally, particularly when online information are constantly disappearing in the cosmos of information beyond the possibility of retrieval even with archival sites like archive.org or archive.is, primarily because it was not archived by the archival sites or the original author removes the link and data deliberately or s/he goes to "(web)site-bankruptcy", as everyone of us might have experienced.

Cheers and stay safe,
/z

Glad to know you like buku.

The goal of the project is to remain text-based. In addition, non-text data would also add to local storage which (maybe after a year) would become a bottleneck for portability. I needed something light and so buku is implemented the way it is.

If you are really interested, please feel free to fork and add the additional pieces. I believe you would need another field with possibly multiple relative references to the non-text data files.
