Actually, you might be able to change the URL at the finalize function of your ExtensionPreprocessingJS file

   // Note that the finalize function is only available in iOS.
   finalize: function(arguments) {

   // arguments contains the value the extension provides in   
   [NSExtensionContext completeRequestReturningItems:completion:].

   // In this example, the extension provides a color as a returning item.
   document.URL = arguments["newUrl"];    
}

It seems like what you're describing is a bookmark, and not an app extension. I would highly doubt that app extensions would allow you to interface with Safari and update the URL, this would be wrong in many regards, including privacy and security. In short, not possible (sorry).
