For apps and computing in general. For instance, browsers often allow you to
save sessions, or restore sessions from a previous run ("run" is a term closely
related to "session"). Also think of terms like "login session" (for your
computer) and "launch session" (for an app) etc. So a session bookmark is
basically just a snapshot of the current state (but we don't use "snapshot
bookmark" because than it's not clear whether it refers to one file or the
whole app, i.e. all files).
