In this case, you could use \part per workbook and use 
pageprefixsegments in \setupregister to add the part number in front of 
the page number.

Otherwise, I guess it would be possible to read the .tuc files of the 
other products to create index entries. (Some Lua programming; shouldn’t 
bee too hard, but still way over my head.)
