My Web Links Improvement Idea

QW 2017 H&B here....
I have added 38 links to My Web Links portal. I find this feature on my Quicken Home tab very useful as way to consolidate and quick-launch financial-related sites. I use it a lot. I also use it to link to some files on my hard drive such as budget analysis spreadsheet, retirement plans et al. About half of these are related to accounts I have in Quicken but many are not.
But, to make it better, I would like to be able to better organize these 38 links, not unlike how a typical browser would organize "favorites", or a file system would work.
In the portal that is My Web Links, I would like to create folders and move a portion of those links to a folder. The folder should be collapsible and the folders and links within the folder sortable. I would like to be able to move links between folders - basically all the "move, create, modify, and delete" actions one use to manage folders and files in a folder. Really just basic way of better organizing and finding my links.
For example, given the 38 links, I would like to create folders and like: Banking, Investments, Retirement Planning, Utilities, Retail Accounts, Tax Authorities, and maybe a few other.
What do you think? Like it or make comments to make the idea better!

I have links in various places in Quicken:
- In Account Details
- In Reminders
- In My Weblinks
It would be nice to see these links all in one place but still have the convenience of having them at the point of use.Questions? Check out the Quicken Windows FAQ list
For me, I would like to simply add and organize around My Weblinks, then to your point, if they need to be near point of use such as in Account Details and Reminders, allow a pull down and assignment from "master data". And, if the link doesn't exist, add it....to where....master data.... ; ).
Its not the sexiest feature and I don't know if this will get much traction but I wanted to add my .02. For me it continues to help me consolidate/manage my financials even if they are weblinks to my FIs and other related sites. Makes me even more sticky, Quicken product folks!

While the My Web Links are useful for some, I don't use it. I like using Waterfox Browser, a Variant of Firefox. Waterfox allows more uses than Firefox, does and I particularly like it for allowing the Roboform Toolbar across the top of the Browser Window. I hate having to type in the Password, so Roboform does it for me.
Quicken does not allow Copy and Paste by Mouse, only via Keyboard. I have more important information to remember than passwords.
Users are complaining about the size of the Quicken Data File and improving Quicken to Double as a Browser would turn Users away from Quicken, in my opinion.
