Make an Alias of a Bookmark

With Bookmark Buddy you can file a bookmark in more than one subcategory using ‘aliasing’. When you create an alias, you create a link rather than a duplicate. This means that the details associated with every instance are always identical, no matter which instance you open or modify.

To create an alias of a single bookmark:

1.	Switch to Organize mode (F8).

2.	Click on the item you want to create aliases of.

3.	Drag the item onto the new subcategory whilst holding down the Ctrl key. To navigate inside another category or subcategory, drag onto the category or subcategory and wait a moment for it to open.

To create an alias of one or more bookmarks:

1.	Mark the bookmarks you want to create aliases of.

2.	Right-click on the subcategory or category in which you want the aliases to appear and select Alias marked here. - or - Select the subcategory in which you want the aliases to appear. Then from the Edit menu select Alias Marked, then Subcategory or Category.

If you alias a subcategory, the subcategory title is copied, but all the contained bookmarks are aliased.

Bookmark Buddy manages aliasing entirely transparently: you can re-title or move any instance of an aliased bookmark. If you delete an instance of an aliased bookmark you will be prompted whether you want to delete all instances or just the selected instance.

You can view all the instances of a bookmark by right-clicking on its title and selecting Show aliases.
