There's an example of this in groff's "an.tmac" file. It's not a model of elegance, but it works. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/tmac/an.tmac?id=5011cd1d5a647d977f74ccaad21e5abe004fe30e#n529 Dave's link contains my musings on an elegant solution, which will require a new formatter feature.
