I have not followed this through in a test, but could one not 

 - build the separate key tables for each document
 - use Muenchian techniques to get back a list of them for each
   document
 - stash all those lists in a new tree in a variable
 - convert that tree to a nodeset
 - fool around in that nodeset, where all the keys are known, to find 
   out which document a key comes from 

its starting to get a bit desparate, I know, but I can imagine some
fun exploring these byways
