Yes, and no.  If you're running your own client then you can do all sorts
of neat tricks with Lynx, like indexing your bookmark files, but it's not
done automatically, you have to either add the href=#'s and name='s
yourself, or you can (HEY MIKE!) put all the items of interest into
separate HTML's, with which you access by using localfile path's to point
to from within you bookmark file.  BTW, by default, Lynx will NOT allow
you to delete links from anything BUT your bookmark file.

Also, the reason I specify "if you're running your own client" is because
a remote Lynx, like the one I access on a public server, may have the
'local-URL-disable' flag set, meaning that I cannot use either of the
above means for indexing, instead, I set up a separate index file which I
have to go view by direct selection in my local dir.
