Screencast trying to use hidden bookmarks

I was told that WollMux actually makes use of the feature.

Quickly looking at the feature from a user perspective, I didn't understand at
once how that's supposed to work exactly, e.g. when the content of the
bookmarks is actually hidden. I found that the following steps do in the end
lead to the content being hidden (s.a. attached screencast), but that seems a
bit weird:
1) open new Writer doc
2) type text "foo bar baz"
3) select "bar", insert hidden bookmark
4) go to end of line, type "Enter" to insert a line break
5) press backspace to remove the line break again

After step 5, the text "bar" is actually hidden, which was a bit confusing for
me, but maybe I'm just missing something...

Other idea for a potential improvement: make changing the "Hidden" flag and
condition possible from the "Edit bookmark" dialog (doesn't seem to be possible
right now)

Maybe showing the UI elements only in experimental mode as suggested in
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/83509/ may be a way to go until it's been
improved and made less confusing?

(WollMux uses the functionality via UNO API, so shouldn't be affected by that.)
