I don't quite follow (and I think this is maybe
getting into the weeds now, for a general Emacs
help list).
What I suggested is switching to a bookmark file
that has _only_ bookmarks for the target file,
as opposed to just loading such a bookmark file
to add to the already loaded bookmarks for targets
elsewhere.
You save those bookmarks by saving the bookmark
file, i.e., by saving the current `bookmark-alist',
i.e., by using `bookmark-save':
bookmark-save is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
'bookmark+-1.el'.
It is bound to C-x p s, menu-bar search bookmark save.
(bookmark-save &optional PARG FILE)
Save currently defined bookmarks.
Save by default in the file named by variable
'bmkp-current-bookmark-file'. With a prefix arg, you are prompted for
the file to save to.
If 'bmkp-last-as-first-bookmark-file' is non-nil, update its value to
the file being saved.
To load bookmarks from a specific file, use 'C-x p l'
('bookmark-load').
If called from Lisp:
With nil PARG and nil FILE, use file 'bmkp-current-bookmark-file'.
With non-nil FILE, use file FILE.
With non-nil PARG, prompt the user for the file to use.
But there are other, i.e., additional, ways to group
bookmarks, besides a bookmark file. As the doc says:
Unlike the other ways of organizing bookmarks into sets (tags,
bookmark-list bookmarks, etc.) bookmark files represent
physical, not logical, groupings of bookmarks.
Bookmarks themselves can be saved in any bookmark
file, and in any number of different bookmark files.
