You can do this with URLs. For instance, I have just the feeds page of my RSS reader bookmarked.

I adore your name. In case you've not seen it, I think you might enjoy trying out this RSS tool: https://fraidyc.at
Thanks your's is epic too!! I can't use RSS browser extensions for accessibility purposes. Therefore, i use Miniflux, https://miniflux.app.
I'm totally blind, so I use a screen reader. I find that a lot of extensions that use the browser view port just don't work for me. I don't have a directory set up yet. I do have this: https://hopesnotes.net
Hello! I wrote a letter for you on my personal site: https://philosopher.life/#2021.11.14%20-%20hopesthoughts%3A%...

Please let me know if you can't access it.

I read documents in the outline format all the time. This is because I read legal documents, and those are in that format. I'll contact you with my email address.
Thank you. I'll be checking it out. Please feel free to ignore me (I am a stranger and a nobody, of course). If you don't mind me asking, what accessibility purposes are you concerned with? You got a place I can read about you, btw? You might call me a linkslut. I could imagine you might have strong opinions about bookmarks (I'd like to know them) and perhaps a library of them you might share.
If there is a way, please, share it! I have not been able to create relative bookmarks natively and while doing research everything points to bookmarklets, which is what this extension does in the end.

Worth noting, after starting, I added a few extra features that I found useful, like mixing query parameters.

You can use a bookmarklet like this:

  javascript:location.href='/about'
An easy way to create a bookmarklet from scratch is to create a bookmark from some other page and then modify the URL.
So that's what I do I created a bookmark from the main page of my Miniflux instance, and then put /feeds on the end. I also have one for the new subscriptions page. Since it's a separate page, linked from the feeds list, I bookmarked it too.
> from the main page of my Miniflux instance, and then put /feeds on the end

This case is relative to a single baseURL. The poster was proposing to have a bookmark relative to the URL you're currently browsing from, so that you could click "/feeds" from any Miniflux instance you're currently visiting.

You can do this it's always /feeds. I suppose if someone really wanted to change that, they probably could. I used to use the hosted bersion, and it was /feeds there too. Although I have to point out that unless you have access to the instance, you probably won't be able to get to that page without signing in anyway. Unless someone decided to make the entire thing public, for some reason. You can do this with tweets even, you just have to have the URL of the tweet.
