Isn't it simply really one entry for all the words of the same spelling but looks like (formatted) multiple words?
<index anchor or and word>[1]<pronunciation><meaning><newline>
<same word>[2]<pronunciation><meaning><newline>
<same word>[3]<pronunciation><meaning>
I.e. you just do a normal entry but with more text and formatting as above. The Dictionary search of the highlighted word is purely using spelling. There is no context or AI, so with "lead" you have a single entry with all the meanings numbered.
Words with actually different spelling are no problem and the fact that some sound the same is irrelevant.
So maybe you are just "overthinking" it. What "seems" like four enumerated entries actually has to be only one entry as the lookup can never ever know which is needed.
I'll believe AI is more than marketing speak for a special kind of database and that "machine learning" is more than human curated/validated storing of input data to later match when we have spelling checkers and grammar checkers much better than the 1980s. So far we still have not a single AI example.
