Feature Request: Web pages tabs saved as files, as a form of bookmarking

[profucius]

Feature Requested

Idea: Tabs can be "saved" into a file within the vault, with a filename designated by the user. When that file is clicked within the filetree to open it within a pane/tab, instead, a Surfing tab is launched and the webpage is launched.

Think of this as similar to bookmarking, but as files, which can be organized, and even placed into a Canvas or other plugins features, which when clicked will open the webpage.

Checklist

• The feature would be useful to more users than just me.

Thanks. Question, I just installed the most recent version 0.8.7. Is this feature included?

I am looking for how to use this feature but am not finding anything yet. To reiterate what I'm trying to do, I want to create a "file" in the left sidebar, which when clicked, opens a Surfing tab directly to a webpage.

Do I need to create an actual markdown file in my vault, with the web-link in the frontmatter?

Apologies if there is documentation for this and I missed it. Thank you.

There is a command in Obsidian named 'Copy tabs as markdown' from surfing now, it will copy current tabs title and url as markdown link. And you can manage it yourself.

Ok I will try that.

I think perhaps there was a misunderstanding about my original post. I was requesting a feature that seems different from what you've described above.

I believe the idea I wrote in my original post would be valuable. It would allow users to create "file bookmarks" which are like browser bookmarks but are instead files, in the folder structure. I imagine being able to create a folder of files which are technically bookmarks, which when clicked will open a Surfing tab to the URL.

If that is not technically possible, then perhaps you could add a command which detects a specific frontmatter value, which contains a web URL, and automatically opens it in another tab. This could serve close-enough to the idea that files can also be bookmarks. For example:

'---
surfingurl: http://website
'---

Anyway I hope that I am explaining this well enough. Do you think that this would be possible?

Oh, do you mean something like this :

Oh yes that looks similar to the idea! I wonder, do you think that is possible?

The feature could be as simple as just clicking one of them, and a webpage opens in a designated pane (like a Note.md file would). But I can see more possibilities down the road, like clicking on one opens both a Note and a Webpage side-by-side in tabs/panes, for taking notes while researching. Or, click a file, and it opens in a hover popup window (the native one introduced to Obsidian recently).

Anyway this is all just brainstorming for the future. But a first idea implementation of clicking a file and a webpage opens is already game changer in my opinion. People tend to think hierarchically with files as well as bookmarks, so it fits.
