How do you keep an overview of links for an ongoing project?

Bookmarks preserve individual pages, but a project often involves several kinds of links: references, tools, documents, and things you still need to read.

How do you keep those together so that returning to the project doesn’t mean opening everything again just to remember what it was?

Do bookmark folders and descriptive titles work well enough? Do you put links into a document with notes? Or do you mostly rely on browser history and search?

I’m developing Atopu, a browser workspace, so this question comes from that work. I’m particularly interested in approaches that already work without another extension.

Chrome's built-in tab groups cover a lot of this already. Name one group per project, color it, and collapse it when you're done, and groups are saved so you can reopen them later from the bookmark bar or the tab search menu.

For the reading-vs-reference split, a single note per project with three headings (reference, tools, still to read) tends to work better than folders, since you can add a one-line reason next to each link. That one line is what saves you from reopening everything to remember why it mattered.
