We use sqlite for storing bookmarks. SQLite is a Relational Database which means we can now store the bookmark in one physical location but display it in more than one folder. For example I just bookmarked a random webpage in two folders (bookmarks toolbar and a folder called misc) when I try to bookmark it again (using the star button) I get a "Edit bookmark" arrow panel with an option to "Remove 2 bookmarks". So your "shortcuts" is now a built in feature. Every "displayed" bookmark is a "shortcut" to the location in the SQLite database and if two bookmarks point to the same location it's only stored once in places.sqlite.
