Why not use:

\chapter {Some complicates TeX code}

\bookmark {Simplfied tex code}

so, the \bookmark command overloads the previous one

The more complex construct that you ask for would make the chapter command 
pretty complicated, esp since currently also things like

\chapter Some TeX code

is also supported

I'm thinking of making a \startchapter ... \stopchapter alternatives which 
takes key/val paits but that;s on the todo list.
