Top Level Icon (Shortcut) to get to Manage Bookmarks – i.e. here: Ctrl+Shift+O?

I understand that the "Bookmarks Menu" Icon (see attached pic) can be used and then: 2) "Manage Bookmarks" can be selected (to get to the "Manage Bookmarks" <selection> screen).

But is there a 1-click Icon solution to access "Manage Bookmarks" (other than the keyboard one)? Or is there a link address that would access the "Manage Bookmarks" screen directly?

There is no safe way to access the bookmarks manager with the mouse in one mouse click, using a chrome URI bookmark is buggy and should not be used to prevent database corruption. All those go via a menu (Bookmarks menu and "3-bar" Firefox menu button => Bookmarks) or drop-down list (Bookmarks Menu button and Library toolbar button) and need two or more mouse clicks.

cor-el, Thanks for confirming that there is NO single (mouse) click solution for accessing the bookmarks manager. I assumed that that was so. But asked, just in case I was missing one.
