I would avoid constraining myself to using only Pandoc for everything.
Even Pandoc uses external software package LaTeX for generating PDFs.

I would create a script (or rather a set of scripts) that processes the
files, extracts heading and figure information and creates input file(s)
for Pandoc with the indices.

You can also use custom Lua writer to produce files with indices.
Another option is creating a filter, but this seems to me like slightly
weird way for doing that.

Write me (or to the list) which solution would you like.

Jiří.
