I think what you are trying to achieve is better described as a new
hyperlink mechanism rather than an extension of abbrev links.

Check this:

(info "(org)Adding hyperlink types")

You can have a new hyperlink facility for bookmarked files.  When an a
buffer visiting a file, storing a link to this buffer would really store
a link to a bookmark, and when visiting a link to a bookmark Emacs will
find the bookmark.

What do you think?
