FrameMaker index question

[Shmuel Wolfson]

Good point.

In general, you don't want this. But we have some manual that have an 
index consisting of a list of functions. In these cases, it would be 
preferable to have the function name hyperlinked as well.

Is there any automatic way of doing this?
