I think Org could benefit from a shrunk version of this library, i.e.,
`org-bookmark-make-record' and `org-bookmark-jump'.

However I'm not convinced about `org-bookmark-jump-indirect' since this
variable complicates code and the same effect can be achieved easily
once the destination headline is reached.

Besides, the helm part doesn't really belong to Org. IIUC, it is not
even needed if we drop support for `org-bookmark-jump-indirect', as
suggested above.

A few suggestions, after a cursory look:

- please switch to lexical binding as all but one file in Org core,

- it is "Org mode", not "org-mode"

- `org-replace-links-in-string-with-desc' already exists, it is
  (mis)called `org-link-display-format'

- `assoc' -> `assq' when key is a symbol

- if you create a marker, unset it once useless

- first sentence in docstrings has to fit in the first line.


Thank you for your work.
