This this this.
It would be so much easier to have this functionality, and it would
almost certainly use less resources because you might not even be
required to open a new tab, maybe you want to open in the current tab,
or maybe you want to run a javascript bookmarklet, or something as
simple as just viewing a bookmark for whatever reason.

But the last one isn't so useful since the bookmarks URL doesn't show
in the status bar, and doesn't show a tooltip on hovering them.
Or it could be that my bookmarks were so tall that it covered the
status bar, which would be a bug. (and not an uncommon bug either, it
happens in pretty much every browser i have used)
Having to open the bookmarks manager can be a pain, but that is
totally my fault for badly named bookmarks... (just a shame some sites
have horrible page titles)

And on the toolbars, an idea i had in another thread was a button that
opened a bar with the topmost toolbar, and arrow buttons to scroll
through the toolbars (and scrollwheel compat.)
Or it could display a number of toolbars with a scrollbar to browse
them if there are more than a specific number. (i think the idea i had
was 1/5 of the screen rounded up to the nearest whole
Managing the order of them could be done from that screen, at the end
of each bar there is 2 arrows to position them, or it could be done
with a gripper + drag&drop, but arrows are simpler IMO, and easier to
understand.
And the icon could be 2 bars (or 1) with a hammer hanging from one,
simplest idea i could come up with at the time.
This is an ideal method for handling them, but whether or not this
will ever happen is another question, it is the best method i can
think of and it fits in with the simplicity of the Chrome interface.
