cross-index
Link between entries
Cross-index means to create references between related items in different parts of a document, database, or filing system.
A cross-index lets you find information stored in one place by looking it up in another: The book cross-indexes topics by both author and subject.
As a noun, it's the index itself or an entry within it.
The practice is essential in libraries, legal research, and any system where the same information might be sought through different paths.
