Bookmark folder which is a shortcut to another bookmark folder

I have mozilla-firefox 3.01 bookmarks which contain folders ANIMALS and THINGS BEGINNING WITH D.

I want DOGS to be a subfolder of both ANIMALS and THINGS BEGINNING WITH D.

But when I add a new entry to the DOGS folder underneath ANIMALS, I want the DOGS folder underneath THINGS BEGINNING WITH D to be automatically updated. In other words, there should be only one DOGS folder but there should be links to it from the ANIMALS folder and from the THINGS BEGINNING WITH D folder.

How can I do this?

Sorry, that isn't possible yet.
Currently the Bookmarks doesn't handle Shortcuts.

You can Copy a folder into another Folder but you can't just use a Pointer and have one folder.

You can't keep them Synchronized or Auto Updated.


Rather then use the Bookmarks Folders as sorting, how about getting used to using TAGS?  You can put a shortcut in any folder but label it with a TAG as Dog or what ever tag you desire.
This add-on may help if you decide to go that route.
