Hi Eric, Unfortunately I recently became very busy, so I will not be able to address this any time soon. However, the indexing behavior is self contained in the `org-babel-ref-index-list' function, so feel free to take a crack at that function. If you are able to implement your syntax as described below I would be happy to help fold in the change.
