Web bookmarks are useful for displaying and previewing external links. For any URL you want to share, you can generate a card with an image and short description of the content on the site — much like what appears when you share links on Facebook or Twitter. Examples:
Notion - The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases.
A new tool that blends your everyday work apps into one. It's the all-in-one workspace for you and your team
