This is a great idea and would be a major improvement to the book on Sefaria! There are a couple technical "gotchas" here that might delay the deploy of this feature though.
Thanks so much for raising awareness to this!
Thank you! Rabbi Bleich will be appreciative once it's possible to work on this, as well.
Context
For the students of Rabbi J. David Bleich, it can be challenging to find articles in his Contemporary Halakhic Problems on a specific topic. The tables of content headings are sometimes too general.
Example
For example, I'm learning Hilchot Gittin and want to see what he has to say on the topic, but in order to find his articles on Gittin, I have to open each book and read through the table of contents, whether it be in print or on Sefaria. In some cases, even that isn't enough, because the chapter headings are too ambiguous ("Kashrut," "Marriage," etc.) This is what I currently see on Sefaria
And this is what I could be:
Going Forward
I guess tagging the articles with the appropriate topics would also be helpful, but my experience with topics is shallow.
