I thought that was the purpose of indexterm: to say where the indexentries
should point to in the doc. Am I wrong?

"IndexTerms identify text that is to be placed in the index. In the simplest
case, the placement of the IndexTerm in the document identifies the location
of the term in the text. In other words, the IndexTerm is placed in the flow
of the document at the point where the IndexEntry in the Index should point"
says TDG.

Besides, I translate to latex so links are simply made by latex/makeindex.
