After quite a few hours of hacking and massaging a very large Chrome
Bookmark file, I now have something that is working well and with a
Chrome extension to copy the page Title and URL into the clipboard, I
can immediately paste it into the Vim edited Bookmarks.txt file. I can
also open a link from the file using "<leader>w" too.

See attached screencapture.
