I was thinking about something like CreateIndex() method where I can send the whole filter expression as a parameter. I did not see the Framework calling this method automatically, but I assume I could always use DataEnvironment.PostInitHook() if I need to call it.

Here is how it might look:

LPARAMETERS tcFilter

LOCAL lcAlias
lcAlias = This.GetAlias()

IF Used(This.GetAlias())
SET Filter TO &tcFilter IN (lcAlias)
ENDIF
