Emacs mark and copy/move to buffers or bookmarked directories

I want to copy/move marked files more efficiently to an open buffer (i.e., an item on buffer list) or a bookmarked directory which I use frequently.
As an example, imagine I want to move a file from existing location to a bookmarked directory. I am familiar with two ways to do this from a dired window showing the currently marked file:
- Single window view: hit "R" and then manually move to the bookmarked directory
- Split window view: use "bookmark jump" in the other window so that desired destination is visible in dired, then "R" and the destination window will appear as option for renaming (moving) the file.
I'm hoping there is some option similar to option 1 above where I mark the file(s), hit "R", and then do [something] to quickly navigate to a bookmarked directory (or directory in buffer list), selecting it as the destination.
Basically, it feels as if I have to either a) mark files, leave the current directory, copy/rename, then move back to original directory; or b) split windows, go to the new window, choose a bookmarked directory (or directory from existing open buffers), then go back to first window ... all just to copy/move files to those destinations. Surely there is some more efficient technique that I am overlooking?
I currently use ivy/counsel/swiper, and thought that it might be possible with that, but haven't been able to find a solution.
