[Usability] Global bookmarks

[Alex Railean <ralienpp gmail com>]

Hi everyone,

I have thought of a new concept that can improve the user experience -
global bookmarks. 

The short version: it is a bookmark that can be invoked from anywhere
in the desktop environment and it can be applied to anything: page in
a book, moment in a song, video clip, position in a drawing, etc.

A detailed description of it, as well as some examples can be found
here: http://railean.net/index.php/2008/10/10/global_bookmarks_improve_usability


I am not sure whether the implementation of this feature is done at
the level of the desktop environment, or somewhere lower; I am also
aware of the fact that each application has to be extended to support
such a feature. If someone considers that there are more appropriate
mailing lists for discussing this - please suggest which ones.
