Sure, I can create the link, but what text should appear in the Index, rather than something like the "16"? IOW, what is are the recommended conventions for laying out the Index section of an ePub? And are there editors/tools that help with this?

There aren't any conventions on what to do in the absence of page numbers, so frankly you can can make up whatever you want here. You could simply use letters or symbols, but a logical way of handling it would be by chapter and paragraph, e.g. c5¶12, c6¶4, etc. The advantage of this is that it would retain a sense of how large the entry is: if you see multiple entries listed as c4¶2, c6¶15-62, c7¶25, you'll realise that the second entry is the largest one and most likely to contain the information you're seeking.
