Book morphs bookmarks missing from saved project

I have a book morph with bookmarks for navigating to specific pages. Worked perfectly until I saved the project and loaded on a different computer. All bookmarks read "a SimpleButtonMorph(nnn) that was not counted"

Is this by design? Was the intent that bookmarks are created by the reader and not really part of the book? Is there an alternate, equally simple way to link pages? I know how to do it with a little code, I just don't want authors to have to get into coding.

No. It works fine in the Etoys image.

A clue, perhaps? These bookmarks are embedded into a column morph. When placed directly on the page they are missing entirely from the loaded project. No "... That was not counted" message.

I had a moment to fiddle with this today. A coded version of a bookmark does survive a project export/import save/load. This is how I did it.

Go to target page.
Blue click, select tile button.
Drag "page" tile to desktop
Go to from page
Drag button from Objects tab and position
Blue click button, click the halo button that shows morphic stuff.
Drag out a new script and drop on desktop.
Blue click book, show morphic stuff, drag out goto page dot, drop on button script.
Drag page tile and drop to replace "dot."
Clean up and a click on the button goes to the page.

It's not so hard once you get used to it, but it is a lot more complicated than a bookmark, and more than I want an author to have to learn.
