Bookmarking (...is based on Channel #. If a Channel # gets reassigned on the website it will point to the new Channel.)

Pins (Since listing/redirects can change day by day, pin uses the final channel url)

Parental Control (Access Control) one can set permanent access option under the Channel Preferences. For Temporary Access (available via all Clients) set an Access Key under Preference first (default is 00000). Then from any Client navigate to Access Control > Set Access Key and enter the same Key. Clear the Key when finished viewing. Note: Preferences only works using the web interface. Access Control is also used by Updater.
