The issue is to dynamically load the bookmark_<module>.html file in the
page. Currently the JS solution is

    $("#BottomLeft").load('bookmark_'+module+'.html');


(I tested replacing it by <iframe> or <object> but that brings other
issues. I also tested < link rel="imports" bookmark.../> but I also hit
restrictions on browsers (http://caniuse.com/#feat=imports) )
