Question: Is it possible to generate info from a document once and then
reference the info as you process the document?

When I process a flow-object-tree (from jade of course) I only want to
process the "a" elements that are referenced by "page-number" elements 
(with the ref attribute) within the fot. Currently I do this by
selecting
all the "page-number" elements in the document and check if their "ref"
attribute matches my current "a" element. As you might imagine, this is
very time consuming.

I wondered if I could build an assoc list of "page-number" elements 
that referenced "a" elements once; then checked the assoc list for a
match when I processed each "a" element. This assoc list would have to
be global so this won't work.

Is there some other way to do this?
