I find this a bit confusing to use a function that expands an
abbreviation only for its side effects.

But maybe you can just tell your function to return a string:

(defun org-link-abbrev-bookmark (bookmark)
  "Opens a bookmark in another window"
  (progn (bookmark-jump-other-window bookmark) ""))

No?
