Now I understand.
Since I'm working with XML, I'm using registers in an even stricter way: 
the text I'm indexing is actually the ID of a person in a database.
Something like this:

<person-ref idref="v18in231">Carolyne</person-ref>

in the main text results in a \index[miller_carolyne]{v18in231}

In another place of the XML there's a record like this:

<person id="v18in231" sort-key="miller_carolyne">Miller, Carolyne ... 
</person>

The deeptextcommand parameter of \setupregister is set to a macro that 
takes the ID and gives back the text of the person.

Maybe in the database there's also another record like this:

<see-person id="v18in242" idref="v18in231" 
sort-key="sayn_wittgenstein_carolyne">Sayn-Wittgenstein, Carolyne 
<see>Miller, Carolyne</see><see-person>

that results in a 
\seeindex[sayn_wittgenstein_carolyne]{Sayn-Wittgenstein, 
Carolyne}{Miller, Carolyne}

in that case \startindex...\stopindex or \startregister...\stopregister 
could be your friends.
