Shmuel,

This really isn't something you'd want to do as a default, because
this type of link would only work if the index string is only used
once -- a single entry. As soon at you use the same term on two or
more pages, which is the usual situation in a good index, where does
the link from the term go?

If you want to kludge it for single entries, set up a cross-ref or a
hypertext link from the text entry to where ever the main term is
used.
