\seeindex and secondary index (register) levels
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e07e15a8be3c4c1723f5a0397bc17424.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
How can I get \seeindex to refer to other than the top-level of an index entry? In the following MWE, I would like to link to /text+more/, not /text,/ and not /text+some/. That is, the highlight should include the name of the lower level(s). The actual link should be to the page with the entry for the reference text in the case that the top level is on one page of the index and the secondary entry on the next page. If this cannot be done, I can live with a separate \index{text, more} entry, but that is ugly when there are other text+something entries. I would also like to be able to specify the format of the reference, perhaps with before/middle/after keys. This would allow /text -> more/ or otherwise as my publisher's style guide may require. \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext Some text\index{text+some}. More text\index{text+more}. And more\seeindex{I want}{text+more} and more\seeindex{I get}{text}. \placefootnotes \placeindex \stoptext -- Rik

Hans, This does not do anything different, and in particular it does not create a link. Perhaps this new example better illustrates the problem: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupregister[index][n=1] \setuppapersize[A7] \starttext \type{Dilbert} should be a link to the second-level on page~3 (or perhaps to the top level on page~2) in this example. \type{Dilbert} is \type{Adams+Scott} and \type{Catbert} is \type{Adams{+}Scott}. They link nowhere. \type{Dogbert} is \type{Adams}, which links to page~2. \index{Adams+Douglas}\index{Adams+Amy}\index{Adams+John} \index{Adams+John Quincy}\index{Adams+Sam}\index{Adams+Scott} \seeindex{Dilbert}{Adams+Scott} \seeindex{Catbert}{Adams{+}Scott} \seeindex{Dogbert}{Adams} \index{A}\index{AA}\index{AAA}\index{AAAA}\index{AB}\index{AAB} \index{ABB}\index{AABB} \page \placeindex \stoptext -- Rik
