ROFLOL, I have no idea with VIM OR KATE! BTW I DO like kate.
Kate has bookmarks?? This is coming from a person that uses it almost
everyday. :-)
HELP --- google. Somehow that must be more in the section for smart asses.

Tabs in vim
vim -p file1 file2 file3
That will open vim with 3 files each in it's own tab.
gt in normal mode with switch tabs.

Edit a romote file. I have no idea but I bet you can combine that with
tabs. Now for the bookmarks.
vim scp://user@host/[path_to_file]

search this page for bookmark but I bet that is not quite what you had in mind.

You want to open a file on a remote machine with one click right?
Perhaps a machro is what you want.
