Perhaps index via X<>?
=head1 SUMMARY
C<bar()> implements a type of construct known as X<index>ing.
Syntax could be similar to L<>, with allowing index on one word or
phrase, while printing another.
X<indexing|index>, from above.
Much finer control, even being able to index multiple lines within the
same doc.
