Now I understand.
Since I'm working with XML, I'm using registers in an even stricter way:
the text I'm indexing is actually the ID of a person in a database.
Something like this:
<person-ref idref="v18in231">Carolyne</person-ref>
in the main text results in a \index[miller_carolyne]{v18in231}
In another place of the XML there's a record like this:
<person id="v18in231" sort-key="miller_carolyne">Miller, Carolyne ...
</person>
The deeptextcommand parameter of \setupregister is set to a macro that
takes the ID and gives back the text of the person.
Maybe in the database there's also another record like this:
<see-person id="v18in242" idref="v18in231"
sort-key="sayn_wittgenstein_carolyne">Sayn-Wittgenstein, Carolyne
<see>Miller, Carolyne</see><see-person>
that results in a
\seeindex[sayn_wittgenstein_carolyne]{Sayn-Wittgenstein,
Carolyne}{Miller, Carolyne}

in that case \startindex...\stopindex or \startregister...\stopregister
could be your friends.
