Chris,
Regarding Mathematica + packages on-line documentation.
Apparently a good idea, until Wolfram changes the web site structure (as
they did at least 2 times in the past (info from this newsgroup search).
I can also create the bookmarks and store them in a special workbook as I am
doing it now. For example,
Cell[TextData[{
StyleBox[ButtonBox["EvaluationNotebook",
ButtonData:>{"EvaluationNotebook"},
ButtonStyle->"RefGuideLink"]],
"[] Path & FileName of the current notebook ",
StyleBox[ButtonBox["Mathematica 2.11.3",
ButtonData:>{"2.11.3", "3.1"},
ButtonStyle->"MainBookLink"]]
}], "Text"]
However, this is extremely time consuming & "I am trying to automate this
process".
Cheers,
Philipp.

If you really want to bookmark something, you could always bookmark
the same help page in your web browser. The documentation is online,
after all.
