I googled for this with no success. im looking to "bookmark" a lisp code block so that it appears in the emacs/bookmark+ bookmark lists. for example i want to launch this lisp code when i launch a bookmark "xxz"

(defun xxz ()
 "jump"
  (interactive)
  (bmkp-dired-jump "h.nyc" )
  (org-narrow-to-subtree)
   )

anyone know if this is possible at all?

    You might also consider using either bookmark-after-jump-hook or bmkp-before-jump-hook. You also have bmkp-jump-display-function. And you can put predefined bookmark tag "bmkp-jump" on any bookmark - give it any function as value - see Tags as Attributes. – Drew Oct 8 '16 at 23:08
  • hmm cool. so i tried this T v bmkp-jump RET (lambda () (org-narrow-to-subtree)) with no apparent success. is that correct syntax? – zeltak Oct 10 '16 at 12:31
  • Yes. What does (bmkp-get-tag-value BOOKMARK "bmkp-jump") tell you for your BOOKMARK? Be sure that the right buffer is really current when you invoke org-narrow-to-subtree (I know nothing about that function, but its doc talks about the current buffer). – Drew Oct 10 '16 at 14:00
  • this is the output Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable h\.nyc) (bmkp-get-tag-value h\.nyc "bmkp-jump") eval((bmkp-get-tag-value h\.nyc "bmkp-jump") nil) eval-expression((bmkp-get-tag-value h\.nyc "bmkp-jump") nil) funcall-interactively(eval-expression (bmkp-get-tag-value h\.nyc "bmkp-jump") nil) call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil) command-execute(eval-expression) – zeltak Oct 11 '16 at 6:41
  • ah, i does seem to work..i could have sworn yesterday it didnt narrow..i did restart emacs server today..but hey as long as it works ;-) thx! – zeltak Oct 11 '16 at 7:25

I should have read the bookmark+ deeper. There is a way to do that with 

bmkp-make-function-bookmark

This works perfectly.
