I don't entirely understand what you want, but was wondering if it
really is necesarry that sketch does this.

Making a layer that doesn't include it's objects when exported is
easy. You just make the layer non printable and if you want to
name this layer 'Marked Objects' that is not a problem either.

So all that is left is creating the bb file. So how about a seperate
utility that reads in a sketch file, searches for an unprintable
layer called 'Marked Objects' and does what you want?
