I definitely think it's very, very useful!

I constantly leave tabs open or use bookmarks, but it'd be great to add them to ORG with a timestamp to watch later.

This way I wouldn't forget about them and they wouldn't take memory on the browser if I don't bookmark them.

I did not know that. That is useful feature for Org.

Side note: there shall be feature in Org that quickly
captures the full link to the heading. Maybe it already
exists. Instead of constructing links by hand like entering
the file name, entering the heading for the link, there
shall by some automated feature:

Useful Feature A:
=================

- watching 2 windows with 2 Org files

- position cursor in first Org file to accept the hyperlink

- move to 2nd Org file any heading

- press key, and hyperlink is sent to 1st Org file properly
  formatted for specific heading in second Org file.

And then there shall be also collection of hyperlinks:

Useful feature B to collect hyperlinks similar to above:
========================================================

- user browses one Org file and thinks of collecting various
multiple hyperlinks as such need to be referenced in other
Org file and I refer to headings only for now.

- user would just invoke the key in any heading and message
  would be "Heading `** TODO Things' captured in the ring"

- user would be able to browse various Org files and collect
  hyperlinks in memory collection.

- After several collections user could then go to other Org
files and invoke key or command to insert the whole
collection of hyperlinks.

Do you find that useful? Who does?

That is how I am implementing information in the personal
program HyperScope, it will get published when polished and
ripe.

Collections are similar to Dired marking, user can mark the
file and later decide what to do with it.

Org headings can be or could be marked with later action on
the whole collection of headings:

- re-filing all of them at once

- sending them all by email to other person (I do with Org)

- sending hyperlinks in other Org file (I do in HyperScope)

- creating new Org file with the collection of headings

- assigning properties to collection of headings, tasks,
todo or similar. I am often assigning tasks to people,
collection would help me re-assign tasks instead of doing it
one by one.

That is new to me and fine feature, thank you for reference.

But this here, this chunk of various properties shows how
Org users wish Org to be way more structured, that Org wants
to become more than just plain text, it wants to become
database.
