It's not hard to save the data. What I don't see yet is a good interface for it. We're not going to pile on links for each new feature—that's obviously wrong for HN.
Edit: I have an idea. We could add a 'save' link, but only at the top of a story or comment's individual /item page. To save a story or comment, you'd click on its timestamp to go to its individual page, then click 'save'. This is exactly how comment flagging works now. It would add no complexity to story pages and very little to thread pages.
