Question

I know how to get a bookmark in wordpress by the bookmark id.

<?php $bookmark = get_bookmark(8); ?>
<a href="<?php echo $bookmark->link_url; ?>" target="_new">link</a>

How can I get it by its name instead of its id?

Thank you.

Well apart from using the $wpdb with an SQL-query directly you could use the search-option of get_bookmarks:

$bookmarks = get_bookmarks(array('search' => 'link_name name'));

But it searches not only the link_name field but also other fields:

Searches link_url, link_name or link_description like the search string
