Good evening Haider.

thank you so much for your input, this helps a lot!! :) Now i have a working solution.

I used the script you suggest with a small change :

tell application "Safari"
	set theUrl to URL of document 1
	set theName to the name of the document 1
	set theOrglink to "[[" & theUrl & "][" & theName & "]]"
	set the clipboard to theOrglink
end tell


activate application "Emacs"
tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "v" using {command down}
	keystroke return
end tell
activate application "Safari"

and then I opened it with the application Fastscripts (http://www.red-sweater.com/fastscripts/). No i have the option to add the bookmark by keystroke  to the 
actual open Emacs window.

Regards,
Daniel!
