Write a simple shell script:

echo $1 >> .bookmarks

Save that as a script, then set up Pine to use it as a url-viewer.

Trouble is, how do you differentiate between when you want to view the
URL and when you want to bookmark it? Hmmm, I suppose you could use an
env var and then test for it with Pine's _TEST(...)_ functionality, but
that's still an all-or-nothing setting per-session.
