I did some search and yet to find similar request. As the library of community plugins is growing larger, I hope there would be a “bookmark” or “start” system to let user mark down the plugins that they are interest but yet to try for a later day, or just simply keep a list of favourite plugins and let me export and carry to other vault as reference.
Use case or problem
Many times I come across a plugin that seems interesting, but don’t have time to try at that moment. Often then when I have time later, I already forgot the name of that plugin.
Proposed solution
Basic idea: add a “start” button for each plugin in the community plugins page.
Advance idea: let user organise the plugin page into different user-defined lists like “must-have”, “try later” and so on.
More advance suggestion: let user export and share the list of plugin links.

Plugin note, Add notes and annotations to plugins for easy reference. Keep track of your thoughts, tips, and ideas related to each plugin. If you don’t want this feature, you can turn this off in the plugin setting tab.
As a more simple approach, I would suggest to just install the plugin you are potentially interested in, but not yet activate it if you are not ready to test it. It will take a little disk space, but not tax your system performance in any way.
Then, Obsidian is a note taking program at its core. You could create a note that lists the name of the plugin and add a tag to keep track of it.
