If I understand your question correct, you will need a vector layer to display the bookmarks:

var my_bookmark_layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector(
    "Bookmarks",    
}, {
    displayInLayerSwitcher: true
});
map.addLayer(my_bookmark_layer);

This will add an empty layer which You can use later on.

To get a coordinate from the map, see this example in the OpenLayers example folder. Then you will need to store the coordinate as a feature in the bookmark layer.

Hope it helps :)
