I adapted something from Sacha Chua: a file with links to my most
frequently accessed links.  I too have been seeking some way to make
this automatic, but even as it is, it works great.

I call the file "Pointers.org".

It is just an org-mode file, each headline is a  link.

Then, in my init file (.emacs) is the following:

,----
| (defun pointers ()
|   (interactive)
|   (find-file "~/org/Pointers.org"))
| (define-key global-map "\C-c0" 'pointers)
`----

It's not too hard to install a new link at the top of the file.  I guess
it would also be easy to write a function or use a capture template to
do this.
