SuperLinks replaces the standard WordPress 2.5 Links widget with a more customizable one. With 
SuperLinks you can add as many Links widgets as you want, and set the display options for each 
widget. For instance, you can set which Links category is displayed on each block.
SuperLinks was inspired by the LinkBlock plugin, which provided a very similar service. However, 
LinkBlock development stopped before WordPress 2.5, so SuperLinks was created to fill the void.
Development of SuperLinks was greatly aided by reading the source of some existing plugins. They 
are: 
* Lorna Timbah’s “Top Commentators Widget” (http://webgrrrl.net/archives/my-top-commentators-widget-quick-dirty.htm) 
* The original LinkBlock widget (LinkBlock: http://www.optera.net/projects/wordpress/linkblock/) 
* The stock WordPress widgets found in widgets.php 
Thanks to the developers of those plugins for the help their code provided!

SuperLinks v0.1

SuperLinks is a sidebar widget that gives you greater control of displaying your links and blogroll.

Shea Bunge

Creates three shortcodes – [bookmarks], [links] and [blogroll] – that will generate an unordered list of your WordPress links. 
Preforms the same function as <code>wp_list_bookmarks()</code>.
You can any of the shortcodes within a post, page, media, text widget, etc. 
This makes it much more flexible then using the default Links page template that may be included in your theme as you can add other content surrounding the list, also when you change themes there is no need to edit the page.
You can customize the output of the list by using the same arguments that are accepted by the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_bookmarks/" rel="nofollow ugc">wp_list_bookmarks()</a> function. 
Example: <code>[bookmarks show_images=0 show_ratings=1 show_name=1 ]</code>
<a href="https://github.com/sheabunge/bookmarks-shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">Contribute at GitHub</a>
