Well glad I could help. Actually when I wrote my first message I wasn't aware of this feature either. I discovered while trying to create a TOC according to your instructions :-O

While the original purpose seems to have been made irrelevant, to solve this problem I can suggest the following. I don't think you can type down arrows, but what one can do is type the actual name of the bookmark. So assuming there is a bookmark named "My bookmark" the following will select it in the cross reference menu, and then insert a cross-reference at the current insertion point:

Cross-Reference
Type Text "My bookmark"
Press Default Button

Since this would presumably be used in a macro that itself has created the bookmark, one would just have to save the names of the bookmarks in an array and then use these variables to insert the cross-refs:

$bookmarkArray = …

foreach $bookmark in $bookmarkArray
	#
	# put some code to place the cursor in the right place here
	#
	Cross-Reference
	Type Text $bookmark
	Press Default Button
end

Note however that the cross-references will use the display text as previously selected. Since that choice is in a pop-up menu I doubt one could do anything about that.
