[NTG-context] How to add data from another PDF in index?

[Alan Braslau]

We are currently working on fixing cross-references as well as shared
register information between products in a ConTeXt project structure.
Much is possible, but not all is fully worked out.

My current use is a multi-volume book, sharing Tables of Contents
between the two volumes. As a teaser,

    \placelist [part,chapter,section,subsection]
               [criterium=product,reference=VolumeII]

will include the TOC of VolumeII in product VolumeI.

Once we have this figured-out, I will have to create a wiki page.
