Not exactly what you are asking for:

AFAIU it's about to jump back to a certain buffer.

In use here are a kind of hard-coded registers.

Like that:

(defun gehe-zu-register-x (&optional arg)
  "With  C-u: Puffer merken"
  (interactive "P")
  (if arg
      (progn
    (window-configuration-to-register ?x)
    (message "%s" "Fenster mit \[C-kp-1] oder \\C-x j x erreichbar"))
    (jump-to-register ?x)
    (delete-other-windows)
    (message "%s"   "Mit Arg.: Puffer merken")))

;;;;;

(global-set-key [(control kp-1)] 'gehe-zu-register-x)

I.e. C-u C-kp-1 stores it.

HTH,
