If the actual link is an attribute it shouldn't be too hard for Hits to
recognize that hits from bookmarks and from web history are identical,
and only show one of them.

Maybe Hits should be a little smarter and be able to recognize related
and identical or related hits in things like bookmarks, web history and
email threads?

Tiles could then be contained in some kind of grouping widget which can
be collapsed or expanded to show related and or identical hits.
