Yes, calculating the md5 means reading all the file, which is very suboptimal, 
also that kind of on-open bookmark updating seems a bit weird since it's 
asymetric, i.e. only updates the bookmark once you open that file, but not if 
you open a different file and try to open the file from okular

Calligra includes OpenDocument backends, there's a developer guide at 
http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdegraphics-apidocs/okular/html/okular_generators.html
