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

[Joel]

 Fantastic! Exactly what I needed. My publisher was gong to ask for the information of this index soon, so its great that already works!

 Hans needs to confirm, "In the next update..."

Test files (MWEs):

% index-1.tex

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext
    test \index{entry    WB.1} \page empty \page
    test \index{another  WB.1} \page empty \page
    test \index{onemore  WB.1} \page empty \page
    test \index{whatever WB.1} \page empty \page
    test \index{common}        \page empty \page
    \placeregister[index]
\stoptext


% index-2.tex

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\defineregister[xedni]

\useregister[workbook][index-1][index][WB ]

\starttext
    test \index{onemore TB.1} \page
    test \index{another TB.1} \page
    test \index{entry  TB.1} \page
    test \index{common}      \page
    test \xedni{onemore TB.2} \page
    test \xedni{another TB.2} \page
    test \xedni{entry  TB.2} \page
    test \xedni{common}      \page
    \placeregister[index,xedni,workbook]
\stoptext



This seems to work well - I have applied it to a long and complicated
multi-volume book project to great success!

We need to thank Hans for the quick implementation.
