Sorry, but I don't really understand your use case and the problem you see. It sounds like you are just looking for a way to keep separate, and separately loadable, sets of bookmarks. Is that it? If so, you can do that with vanilla Emacs bookmark.el, but Bookmark+ can help. It makes it easier to have multiple bookmark files, switch among them during an Emacs session, combine any of them during a session, etc. If it sounds to you like this might help then you might want to take a look at this part of the Bookmark+ doc, about using multiple bookmark files: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus#UsingMultipleBookmarkFiles
