Issue for whom? The user?

I really liked the idea but I don't think it fits this task.

I agree on that bookmark order and already reimplemented the next and
previous bookmark action using this approach.

I just tested here with bookmarks on different levels of zoom and it
worked pretty well. When you click on a bookmark, you'll be at the
right position, so the remove bookmark option could be shown on
menubar (or popup menu). This could be a way to prevent the user from
adding duplicate bookmarks on the same position.

Yeah, but i'm worried that will piss off users who are used to Ctrl+B
to remove a bookmark.

I agree.

PS: I also created a new thread[1] on kde forum asking this to the
users but I nobody replied yet :(
