I work with two screens (screen 1 and screen 2) and each screen has got an emacs frame (respectively frame 1 and frame 2). Sometime I have a bookmark in a window in screen 1, the cursor is in screen 2 and I want to jump in the location of the bookmark in screen 1. If I use bookmark-jump, the current buffer in the current window is replaced with the one containing the bookmark. If I use bookmark-jump-other-window, in the current frame a new window is created with the buffer contained in screen 1.

So in no case I jump in frame 1 without changing the content of to frame 2.

I would like to get the following behaviour. If the bookmark I want to jump to is not contained in a buffer in any window in any frame, then replace the current buffer in the current window with that one. If there is a frame containing a buffer with the bookmark, then jump to that frame without replacing any buffer in the current frame.

How can I get this behaviour?

This at least gives some of what you request. It does not, however, replace the buffer in the selected window. And it is not specific to only bookmarks - it applies to displaying any buffer. Perhaps it will help.

Just set option pop-up-frames to t. That will cause every *-other-window command to use a separate frame instead of a separate window. If the buffer in question is already open in another frame then its window there is just selected.
