Description

Firefox offers the possibility of adding a keyword to a bookmark. Thus you can open the bookmark just by typing the related keyword. Vimium has the option to define custom search engines which is somewaht similar to bookmark keywords.

I think it would be a good idea to let the user define keywords for bookmarks that can be opened by typing the keyword in the Omnibar.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Vimium's existing custom search engine behavior and the Omnibar flow. Determine how bookmark keywords should be defined, matched, and opened, including how they interact with existing commands. The work is done when users can configure bookmark keywords and open the corresponding bookmarks by typing them in the Omnibar.
