Description
Currently, vomnibar suggestions do not seem to allow styling based on the type of entry (bookmark, open tab, or history). I would like the ability to differentiate entries by type via CSS.
Motivation:
When I use the vomnibar to search, I see a mix of bookmarks, history items, and open tabs. Right now, 'open tabs' show up after 'domain' suggestions, and all suggestions look the same. So it’s easy to accidentally open duplicate tabs or launch a new search when you could have switched to a tab that’s already open, if it had stood out in the list.

Research direction
Start by tracing how vomnibar suggestions are rendered and how their entry types are represented. Implement distinguishable CSS styling for bookmarks, open tabs, and history entries, then verify that the three types are visibly different in search results.
