It is called a cross-reference, and has been a standard feature of
some lisp systems for many years. (50?) For example, Allegro describes
this..
http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/6.0/doc/cross-reference.htm
it appears that CMU CL (and SBCL) have cross reference programs, but
I was unable to find detailed instructions on how to use them in a brief
Google search.
