Bookmark+ gives you several features that offer this kind of thing.

* Tags (delicious-style) for organizing bookmarks into named sets.

* Multiple bookmark files: access one and get only its bookmarks.

* Bookmark-list bookmarks: similar to multiple bookmark files - jump to a
bookmark to open a particular bookmark list.

* Marking and hiding different sets of bookmarks in a bookmark list: yet another
way to define sets and act on them.

* Emacs desktop bookmarks: jumping to one opens a complete desktop of buffers,
windows, etc.

* Bookmarks that include bookmarks (sequences of bookmarks, etc.).

* Bookmark-list views: another way to organize bookmarks into sets with
different properties.

* Dired bookmarks: Includes saving which files and subdirs are marked, which are
hidden, etc.
