How to Open a specific Bookmark in QuickReference Window?

I finally decided to implement a writing log to track my writing activity (what gets measured, gets done).

I created a new Text File, assigned it as a Bookmark. How can assign a Keyboard shortcut to the Bookmark? I tried in macOS>Settings>Keyboard>Shortcuts>AppShortcuts using the name of the Bookmark, but the menu item has the text file’s icon and so maybe macOS is not recognizing the menu item. Is there an easier way to do this?

I confirmed this works on macOS Sequoia and I don’t think it should be any different on Tahoe. The shortcut path should be Navigate->Open Quick Reference->Text file name. The top item in the menu with the matching “Text file name” will be the one triggered; since bookmarked items go to the top, that will help, but I’d suggest keeping a unique item name as well.
