Perhaps a feaseble workaround:
• place a section index after the content of the page
The cons:
• pagebreaking by sectioning manually the content of a page
\setuppapersize[A5]
\startbuffer[buf:dict:achilles]
He was a hero.
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[buf:dict:divine]
Has something to do with gods and godesses.

\startbuffer[buf:dict:xxx]
The same information used multiple times.

\Dict{proc:achilles->Achilles}Achilles sing, O \Dict{proc:xxx->Goddess}Goddess!
Peleus’ son;
His wrath pernicious, who ten thousand woes
Caused to \Dict{proc:xxx->Achaia}Achaia’s host, sent many a soul
Illustrious into Ades premature,
And Heroes gave (so stood the will of Jove)
To dogs and to all ravening fowls a prey,
When fierce dispute had separated once
The noble Chief \Dict{proc:achilles->Achilles}Achilles from the son
Of Atreus, \Dict{proc:xxx->Agamemnon}Agamemnon, King of men.

Who them to strife impell’d? What power \Dict{proc:divine->divine}divine?
Latona’s son and Jove’s. For he, incensed
Against the \Dict{proc:xxx->King}King, a foul
\Dict{proc:xxx->contagion}contagion raised
In all the host, and multitudes destroy’d,
For that the son of \Dict{proc:xxx->Atreus}Atreus had his priest
Dishonored, \Dict{proc:xxx->Chryses}Chryses. To the fleet he came
Bearing rich ransom glorious to redeem
His daughter, and his hands charged with the wreath
And golden sceptre of the God shaft-arm’d.
