Hello, zarkogajic
In most cases if you need to reference the same target multiple times, it is better to create named destinations in the first place. We offer a function to perform this task automatically form all bookmarked GoToPage actions, on the bookmarks tab:

This function generates a destination for every bookmark with a GotoPage action, and by default names that destination identical to the source bookmark. It also edits the bookmarks own GotoPage action, to point to that new destination:

The advantage to doing it this way, is if you ever need to update the target location, everything which refers to a named destination will be updated in that single change to the destination data. This saves users the need to check various locations, or recall which items specifically referred to it later on.
Beyond that, since a bookmark can contain more than just a GoToPage action, including JS and such (not all of which are compatible with that area), offering an option inside of that list would be difficult without, as you said, additional filtering processes.
It would also likely lead to confusion in two areas:
- If there is a filter, users might be unsure why "Bookmark #72" doesn't exist. (Because it contains a JS action, instead of a normal gotopage action)
- If it offered the same appearance as the destination list, many would expect it to work the same, and recursively update the link data if the bookmark was updated. (which this feature cannot do without using destinations..)
I also think you may have misunderstood the use of this function:

Similar to what you already have for "Edit Action List":

But to "copy" a specific Bookmark action ....
This tool does copy the bookmark actions directly. Using this option in the edit action list area also alleviates confusion, by showing that the "actions" are what is being copied. This helps to avoid the assumption that it points to the bookmark itself. If a bookmark happens to have multiple actions, you can fairly easily remove any you do not need in this scenario. (as a bonus, if you have already updated your bookmarks to use named destinations, since the actions are updated, new links which use "add from bookmarks" will also point to the destination).
I also don't believe there are any situations where you would see a "GoToPage" link, that does not also have access to the "actions list", allowing you to use the normal "add from bookmark" tool, are there? If not, I cannot really see a need or a use for a feature that is so complex, and cumbersome for long-term use, to be implemented, when a clearer and more accessible option is already in place.
Kind regards,

You have piqued my curiosity, is there a reason you dislike Named Destinations?
