I feel like this would be a stopgap anyway, given we want to give users the ability to define custom sections in the sidebar where they add any links they want.

Bookmarks tend to pile up. With a sidebar custom section you get to properly put a lid on the problem and have something static that fits your particular needs. Users can also give them punchy short names which will fit visually into the sidebar.
