Haven't been following this thread; sorry.

But this is one of the things bookmarks are great for.
Whatever it is, bookmark it, and use the bookmark to
access it.  Each time you do, the bookmark updates
the date+time visited and the number of visits.

Nothing else is needed, just the ability to bookmark
something.  And you can do that for pretty much
anything you can visit.  If no existing bookmark type
is relevant you can easily define a new bookmark type.
