You can do that by customizing the addtoFavorites script in your skin. 
But you'll run in some problems:

1.) There's an inconsistency: invokeFactory/addFavorite needs a path 
without query string as remote_url. But edit() allows you to use an url 
with query string in remote_url.

2.) getObject() and getIcon() might not give you the result you expect:
getObject() gives you an ugly Traceback and getIcon() returns 'p_/broken'.

Favorite doesn't save the absolute URL. So you can move your site easily 
from one domain to another without breaking your favorites.

Customize addtoFavorites the way you like it.
