To bookmark a page in Diigo you must actually viewing that page.

Please could you add an option to the context menu to bookmark a link (as delicious does.)

Sometimes it's not necessary to go to a page, or I just want to save it for later viewing.

Cheers
John

Dear johnlknight,

your suggestion BookmarkingLinks via the context menue is an excellent idea, because it saves a lot of time for the bookmarker as well as the readers of bookmarked links.

Another suggestion:

AnnotatingLinks via the context menue are in this case like little previews, that help to navigate.
Besides that, links are more stable and visible on Webpages than other content. So they opt for a safer harbour for bookmarks.

John,

There is a "add a bookmark" under your pull down in "My Bookmarks" section, or http://www.diigo.com/post/index?referInfo=http://www.diigo.com/user/username.

Is that what you're referring to?

NO.

The add bookmark function only bookmarks the page you are viewing.

I want to bookmark a LINK on a page (without actually navigating to that page).

For example. I want to go to the bottom of this page.

I want to right click on 'diigo blog' and bookmark that link. I do not actually want to navigate to the diigo blog itself. I just want to bookmark the link for later reference.

Here's the reason why: I use a RSS reader that gives me excerpts from stories. I do not need to to go to the actual page. But, the reader also gives me the link. I'd like to use diigo to bookmark those links.

Note delicious has this function under 'tag this link.'

I'm using delicious with firefox.

it's not in the settings.

Assuming you have the delicious extension for firefox installed, hover your cursor over any link, right click, and a 'tag this link' option will appear on the context menu

Dear Johnlknight, dear Maggie,

thank you johnlknight, the screenshot you gave, saves me to answer Maggie more explicitely, what is meant by tagging a link.

Hovering over the tagged link, pops the annotation window, earlier made with tag/annotate this link.
This is a very valuable suggested feature, because it helps to save time, when deciding on navigating away from the annotated page.
