On surf, ctrl-y, echo -e `sselp | dmenu` >> $file bound to a key binding,
and you can tag it as you like, retrieving is just as so easy, just load
the grepped file in a vertical dmenu, fresch patch for dmenu on archlinux
 forum has multiselect feature so one can load several url in one dmenu go.

On a surf launched with the -x option, the two steps required to add
a tagged bookmark to a list are reduced to one step.
If one wish to add the window title to the bookmark,
just pasting such a string somewhere in the bookmarking script does the trick
xprop -id `cat ~/.surf/id` | grep WM_ICON_NAME\(STRING\) | cut -c 24-
