I'm wondering if further progress has been made in Mk IV on styling
parts of an index (register) entry? I have followed the explanation on
the wiki, but do not seem to be able to achieve what I need.
And what I need is to be able to italicise entries that refer to
newspaper names, e.g. The Observer
MWE
\defineregister[myindex]
\defineprocessor[style][style=italic]
\starttext
In \myindex{style->Observer, The} {\em The Observer} of 31 July 2018
\stoptext
The only result I am getting is:
->Observer, The 223
But what I want is /Observer, The/ (in other words, in italics).
Clearly I am doing something wrong, or not enough, or... maybe there is
another way to achieve waht I need?

And I'll be on the lookout for a newspaper called The Onion :-) one that I presume would bring you to tears. And yes, had discovered that processors don't like split 'strings'!! But I would never have worked out your definition on my own, but it offers me ideas for other variations on the them.
