It had crossed my mind during the current work, although I think it's somewhat separate in that it's primarily a UI issue. Currently the bookmarks are displayed as links in an HTML para, essentially. You can already have nesting A a1 a2 B C in the bookmarks node, the display will just be A a1 a2 B C So what if A had a trailing + which toggled the visibility of a1 and a2? I guess that would be handy, although part of me things you should probably only have 10-20 bookmarks for a project, and maybe it's not necessary for that many. I think of them more as links to current work than permanent entry points, presumably the structure of the project itself works for that. I'll think about it some more.
