[oXygen-user] Docbook 5 Author mode: way to add indexterm elements?

I have been using Author XML for months now to  make a docbook book.
Really loving it. It's very powerful and makes me productive.

However, I am surprised to find that there's not a Docbook toolbar
button or context menu option to create an indexterm element. An
indexterm is necessary to build a decent index for your book.
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/indexterm.singular.html

 usually it looks like this: <indexterm> <primary>Abraham Lincoln
</primary> <secondary>Gettysburg Address </secondary> </indexterm>

I am having to drop out of Author mode into XML mode to add
<indexterm> every two paragraphs or so.

Am I missing this feature or is it something which the developers just
haven't gotten around to yet?

Thanks.
