Nooooo. That won't work. The bookmark is a position in the document! If I
do that, then I'll still need the Moniker for the Embedded object either
way. I know where the item is in the document (I have it in the
InlineShapes collection after all!).

Apparently, Word doesn't do this very well (in fact, it sucks at doing it).
