With most URLs, once you have it up in Quicksilver (by typing it or pulling it 
out of your browser bookmarks), you can hit → or / to have QS look at it and 
give you a list of links on the fly. But as far as I know, there is no support 
for authentication or cookies, so for something that needs to identify you to 
be useful, this won’t work. I hope someone will tell me I’m wrong. If not, I 
was thinking of filing a feature request on this anyway.

In your case, it doesn’t sound like you want to be able to arrow into the URL. 
You want the bookmarks themselves to be available in Quicksilver’s catalog. 
This is a good candidate for a plug-in.

Possible workaround: I don’t know anything about Google Bookmarks, but if 
there’s a way to sync it with the bookmarks in a desktop browser, you could set 
it up to sync and just have Quicksilver index the local copy. If you don’t want 
it messing with the local bookmarks in your main browser, maybe you could sync 
with one you don’t use. Quicksilver can pull bookmarks from at least 3 browsers 
and I don’t think they need to be running to get indexed.
