[pmwiki-users] A better way of making an index?

I want to have a wiki with different sections (mapped to 
groups). The pages in a section might have categories. What I 
would like to have is an index that looks like this:

SectionX
   CatA
   CatB

SectionY
   CatA
   CatB

if I click on a 'CatA' link to want to see all pages in that 
section that has the 'CatA' category.

I can do this by linking each category listing to a page that 
has a pagelist directive on it.

My question is: can this be done without having the pagelist 
pages? that is, is there a way to create a link that would do 
the search and generate a temporary page (one that doesn't 
really exist in the wiki)?

Why do I ask? Well, it seems unnecessary to create a number of 
pages that only contains slight variations of the same pagelist directive.

I tried looking in the docs for doing this but didn't find 
anything, the searchbox seems to be able to do something like 
this using 'target' but I don't want a searchbox
