The code is adapted from Eshell, which has the capability you describe.
I do not have the means to test an SSH connection.  Though I tried the
'sudo' TRAMP method and the bookmarking correctly logs me in as root
when I do 'bookmark-jump'.  This works even if I kill the shell buffer
and all TRAMP buffers.
