I've recently started working on something similar as an excuse to learn machine learning, but it's still mostly vaporware outside the firefox extension I wrote. I think that by saving some basic metadata (when a page was viewed, what browser was used to view it), and using ML to judge how similar the contents of a page is to another, it should be able to automatically create links between related information. Ideally, it'd be able to handle information outside the browser. For example, if a log file is saved, then a web page is viewed with similar contents to the log file, it would be able to detect that the web page is probably a reference for the log file.
Like I said, it's mostly vaporware, but I think that products like these are going to be the future of collaboration tools.
