The concept will work but it feels a bit over-engineered. Perhaps that's a matter of taste, and certainly not a dig at the idea. The approach of ignoring save-window-excursion and display-func via bookmark-record entries or using properties on the handler seem less intrusive or a mix, if we feel that's appropriate. Why not just fix the eww bookmark handler to do its own save-window-excursion, again, rather than make a default bookmark jump behavior policy change? We'd still need a method to inhibit display-func in the interactive bookmark menu case. -Stephane
