Why not use the "favorite" list for that?

Because it's public, while my list is not intended for that

The fact that HN faves are public is ... something of a pain point for me.

Though I do use the feature.

Algolia search is sufficiently good that my own comments on threads are also a useful referencing method, and (though nominally also public), serve my own research / reference needs fairly well.

Not parent, but favorites are public, while upvotes are private.
