there are firefox extensions that will export all tabs to custom
format. thus you could set org links. i do not know whether there
are any that can import custom format.
however, before webextensions, there was a firefox extension that had
both features. thus there might already be a webextension that can
import and export org links to the clipboard.
not quite as awesome as a hypothetical org-capture with selection of
tabs and import, but i found it useful.
