Other pdf reader e.g Foxit. Treat the bookmark like a TOC and save it within
the pdf. 

Sometimes it confuse me to differentiate between TOC and bookmark. So my trick
is to use (MY) and the end of my bookmark.

Does okular consider this approach too ?

Please disregard my comment above. I initially misunderstood the feedback.
However, I still don't understand why file extended attributes could not be
used, which would preserve the linkage to the file despite its movement.

Bookmarks that are only scoped within a single PDF file (not all files in the
system) would be the only bookmarks I care about. I already know how to find
the files I need, and I have numerous tools available to find files. However,
"bookmarks", like the physical pieces of fabric or paper inside a book, only
help me to find interesting bits of information within a PDF file that I
already have opened. So the metaphor of broken links across the file path/ tree
is pretty much irrelevant, I would say.

I'd say your number is too high, but ok :D

But not everyone runs baloo (I don't) and also i think you can exclude some
folders from baloo watching so it's not really the panacea either

Anyhow both of those "solutions" is something kind of outside the scope of
okular, so other people's ideas/workforce welcome :)

Doesn't Baloo already do this? We might be able to leverage it here.

Let's say you save the bookmarks on a pdf file (which you can not), how do you
pretend to know all the bookmarks you have on your system? You need a file that
points to those files, so you have the same problem.

Basically bookmarks need to point at files. If you move the file the bookmark
will be lost, there's no way around it (well actually if the move was done by a
"KDE App" it could try to update the bookmark files, but if you do a move with
the terminal, there's no way to fix this (unless you add a global file moving
watching daemon))

Confirming the issue. Okular devs, is there any way we could store this
information inside the PDF file itself, like we do for annotations? Is there a
field we can use?
