Maybe. However, this would be a breaking change in Org syntax. I am not sure if the proposed feature is sufficient to justify such a change. A much simpler approach would be using a special value syntax like #+INDEX: [name] text We might end up adding dual values to keywords in future (there are other reasons to do it), but I'd like to wait until we prove that such change is justified more. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
