Right, I should have thought about this a little longer. etags  
provides this kind of indexing for function and variable names in  
source code.

It does (4) too, whereas (2) and (3) are doable but in a  
less-than-desirable fashion currently (i.e. you wouldn't want to do  
it). My planner-mode protocols and method sheets all contain links to  
references, usually as a citation key. This is a string like  
"MILLER1999". You can mark this citation key with your mouse and call  
a RefDB command to display this reference.

I haven't fiddled with refdb-mode for a while, but if this is a useful  
path to follow for your needs, I'll see if I can help.
