There's no reason why a web browser bookmark action doesn't automatically create a WARC (web archive) format.

Heck, with the cost of storage so low, recording every webpage you ever visit in searchable format is also very realistic. Imagine having the last 30 years of web browsing history saved on your local machine. This would especially be useful when in research mode and deep diving a topic.
