Can't snap to non-active artboard unless zoomed way, way in

Question

I can't snap any objects (including guides) to a non active artboard unless I zoom all the way in. I have smart guides turned on, snap to point turned on and I'm holding down the "elusive" command key and nothing. What gives?

I also ran into the same problem (you cannot make bookmarks in text boxes other than the 'body' text boxes). I also found that even if you put a 'body' text box on your layout pages, it might get messed up by changes to the text flow (e.g., if you add more text to a body text box on a preceding page, it might push your bookmark to an undesired location). 
Here is my workaround. It might seem a bit bizarre, but perhaps it will work for you.  You can make hyperlinks to widgets.  This means, you could use an empty (and hidden) Pop-over widget as the 'bookmark'.  To do this, you would insert a pop-over widget and apply a Title and label from the Widget inspector (this is required).  You can even add a new label (try 'Edit Label Styles' in the label menu of the Widget inspector) and make the name very short (I made one with just spaces in the name).  
When defining the hyperlink to a widget, you need to select 'Figure' in the 'Link to' menu.  You should see your list of widgets in the inspector and you can choose the pop-up pretending to be your bookmark. I also put the page number as the regular title for the title of the pop-up widget.  You can make other changes to the widget to make it less obvious or even invisible. 
When you click on the hyperlink to that bookmarked widget, it will still briefly flash yellow highlighting for the found title of the widget.  The brief flashing yellow highlighting would also show if you were using body containers with invisible text. 
Hope this gives you some ideas.  Good luck!
