I implemented, as a proof of concept, a "global textmate bookmarking"  
system, which allowed you to mark locations and then “quickly” move  
about them. When I say quickly, it's not really instantaneous,  
because it relies on the txmt scheme. You will want to modify it of  
course, to suit your needs. It doesn't do exactly what you want, but  
perhaps it's not too far off. You can find details here:

bookmarking/
This requires that you mark your current location before switching  
files of course, so it is not ideal. Perhaps a plugin could do better.
