Yes, thank you for pointers.

What I would like to do is to execute external program from browser as
such program will give me more than just capturing the TITLE and URL,
data that browser has, because I need external data that browser does
not have such as annotation or a note to the bookmark.

So I could maybe use org-capture as you said. Then I could annotate
the bookmark in description and later by one click move everything
into Hyperscope database.

I think this one could work. But it does not work on iceweasel-uxp
from fully free OS Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre. It could be installed on
the GNU IceCat. Firefox I am not using directly within the OS due to
its problematic tradeark issues and I like GNU IceCat as it has by
default some good features like quickly disabling Javascript and
taking care of non-free Software.

I have tried, now I am getting error:

Greedy org-protocol handler.  Killing client.

eeeee.

After more setups insights, I could make it work. It works quite nice!

Now I hope that I can use org-capture to invoke other functions from
external programs.

Chrome is no go here as I do not like getting tracked by Google. But
it is similar extension

That is yet another tip how to capture, and I can use it probably with
the other add on, or basically without add on, how I understand.

Even more enhancements there. That is great.

I would like to use org-capture to get data while invoking some
Elisp, that I can capture into database. Do you think that is
possible straight somehow?

That capture does not go into Org but that I can redirect it to other
elisp function?
