In a word - no. The node knows what keys it has on it, but it doesn't know what a key contains. The key is an encrypted file, and the node doesn't know the keys to any of the files in it. The only way to create an index of the type you describe is at insertion time. However, this does not mean that the files will reside in the node that inserted them. In conclusion, the kind of index you are talking about could only be generated at insertion time. Frost already does pretty much precisely this. Why not just use that?
