Indexing redux

List,

I am trying to create an index with both "see" and "see also" 
cross-reference entries.[1] At this point, ConTeXt provides basic 
support for "see" entries via the \seeREGISTER command (it does not 
properly support references to sub-entries) and it provides no support 
at all for "see also" entries.

Can somebody suggest a way to generate these entries? Perhaps a way of 
inserting entries into the index before it is formatted, in the manner 
of \writetolist or \writebetweenlist? (MkII has \writetoregister, but 
that did not carry forward and I do not know if it would have helped here.)

I had brought this up to no response a couple of years ago.[2] I am 
hopeful that LMTX may offer a chance to get support for improved 
indexing, and in particular for "see" and "see also" entries.

[1] For definitions and usage of "see" entries, see 
https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS/langspec/langref/index-see.html. 
For "see also" entries, see 
https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS/langspec/langref/index-see-also.html. 
For a deeper dive, see the publicly available University of Chicago 
Manual of Style version 15 guide, chapter 18, available at 
https://press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/CHIIndexingComplete.pdf, or more 
recent versions not yet freely available online.
