By putting the bookmark as the launch page, it provide similar feature as the
Personal Toolbar but with additional space.  I think it could be implemented in
one (or all through about:config) of the following ways.

1.  Simply display the bookmark as is.  This will allow the user to utilize the
type ahead find just like a webpage.

2.  Embed the entire bookmark manager "looks" and some of the features into the
launch page and provide a one-click access to avaliable links.

3.  Add an additional folder to the bookmark similar to the Personal Toolbar
Folder.  Such a folder will contain links that will be displayed as launch page.
 Such launch page can be formatted either of the suggestions mentioned above, OR
it could have a special format (maybe bookmark with additional information next
to the link, or maybe a layout like a photo album, or maybe a layout like those
portal site with large amount of links.)
