Describe the feature you'd like

I'd like to have some kind of mode/button/user setting which enables me to use Karakeep to bookmark websites (without automatically archiving them) and have the option to optionally archive the site. Maybe via a special/user defined tag or a new button in the extension or at least the web ui.

Currently I automatically archive everything I hoard which is fine for most pages but often just not needed (in my use case). Anyways, I find myself more and more hesitating to use Karakeep on several sites which I only need a simple bookmark of - and starting to use browser bookmarks again (which I hate). Sometimes an archived local version of a website is not needed and I only want to "remind" myself of the website's existence via Karakeep.

I don't know which workflow I'd like best for an implementation. Using Firefox, a possibility might be a user setting in the extension which allows to "bookmark first" and optionally archive when clicking a new button or checkbox in the extension's pop up. For full compatibility on all platforms/browsers/etc every add-on/extension would've need an update though.

Another way might be using a (user defined?) tag which triggers archiving and could by added manually after bookmarking a website.

Another solution might be using the Karakeep web gui: add a new button/checkbox on each item to trigger archiving.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Separation of simple bookmarks (like using Pocket or the long dead but beloved del.icio.us) without occupying space with not-needed website archives from websites we really want/need a local archived copy of.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

AFAIK not.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

you can do exactly that today by disabling auto arching and adding a rule in the rule engine to trigger an archive when a tag is added to a bookmark.

I totally forgot about the rule engine, oh my. I just tested it (using "if added to list xy" which is more intuitive than tags) and it works flawlessly. Thanks for the advice! :) I'll close this issue.
