How about counting numbers, like we do with breakpoints?
(gdb) get-bookmark
Bookmark #1, line 12, foo.c == <quasi-random-identifier>
(gdb) continue
Breakpoint 5, line 144, grbx.c
(gdb) info bookmarks
Bookmark ID Location
1 <###> foo.c line 12
(gdb) goto-bookmark 1
Line 12, foo.c (bookmark <quasi-random-identifier>)
