  • Use a selection modifier action with the search 'marked:="my_temp_marking"' + select all books in current view to select the target books.
  • (Important) Whenever you use marks in chain, it is advised to insert a single filed edit action at the start of the chain that removes all marks that might have been lingering from a previous runs of the chain. You set the scope of this action to all books in library. It is fast so no worries about performance here.
Instead of making the user go through the hoops, I can enable scopes for selection modifier and add an option to convert a scope into selection. Would that be counterintuitive?
