Christian,

If you cannot restructure your app, consider using a Launchpad/Start Menu 
approach. You create the main entry point with a single view that shows a 
nice menu of apps available to your users. Each menu item is basically a 
link to a starting URL for a corresponding module (entry point). When a 
user clicks on it, this module loads and takes over the entire screen. I 
would also add an icon to each module to go back to the launchpad.

This way users can bookmark a launchpad, or they can bookmark any module 
directly.

Note that in this approach URL history would work as expected, i.e. if a 
user goes Launchpad -> A1 -> A2 -> Launchpad -> B1, etc., a user can hit 
the back button and the browser will go back one step.

Alternatively, each module can open in a new browser tab. Maybe you can 
give users an option to choose same tab or new tab somewhere in preferences.

Note that all users of smartphones and tablets are familiar with 
Launchpad/Start Menu approach, which is also used in Mac OS and, soon, 
Windows 8. An additional benefit is that each module/app has more screen 
space to work with.
