Physical Disk

+-----+-----------------+---------------------+-- -- -- -- --
| MBR | System Reserved | C: partition for OS | Data partitions...
+-----+-----------------+---------------------+-- -- -- -- --

You made a Macrium Backup several days ago - this is the MRIMG file
which contains an image of the selected partitions.  "some.mrimg"

        +------------------------------+
        | MBR | SR | C Partition | Data|
        +------------------------------+
                   | X |<--- tick this partition only, not the others

Use the mounter     W: <--- select a drive letter to mount the backup

Now, in File Explorer, a new partition appears, called W:
and it shows the contents of the backup you made. You can
navigate inside the W: virtual disk, find the Bookmarks
folder and retrieve it, and copy it to the "real C"
partition.

So what's happening is, the MRIMG file is being made to
appear in File Explorer, as if there was a real physical
disk drive. It's called "browsing a backup image", and
several backup programs have this same capability,
although the GUI interface will look quite different.

By browsing the backup file, you can "pick" individual files
out of the MRIMG, without needing to restore the entire backup.
It's very convenient. You can get your Bookmarks folder back,
without a lot of sweat.
