Is it possible to add geoprocessing into a bookmark?

E.G

```auto
[Stop_Banks]
location = Data/Assets/Stopbanks.gpkg
enlarge = true
enlarge-by[mode] = ROUNDED_ROUNDED
enlarge-by[distance] = 50

```

In this case, you might be able to do something like:

```auto
[Stop_Banks]
location = Data/Assets/Stopbanks.gpkg
set-attribute.geometry = buffer(geometry, 50)

```

Thanks Tim that works. Oddly the output is 7.7 MB vs 6.7 if the buffer is done in the pipline. The data all looks fine though.

```auto
input(relation: 'Stop_Banks')
 -> select(buffer(geom, 50))
 -> save(name: 'output', format: 'geopackage') 

```

In the tutorial there is a command to remove the overlap of the buffered shapes

```auto
input-exposures.enlarge-by[remove-overlaps] = true

```

What would be the equivalent here?

Unfortunately there’s no equivalent here. The `enlarge` in the wizard uses a pipeline step, so it has some extra functionality above and beyond the `buffer()` function.

We do have something in our backlog to make it easier to mix and match pipelines and bookmarks.
