Brackets and enclosed figures [n] in help?

Hi,
When I am searching something in MATLAB help with “Index”, many times I got entries with figures enclosed in brackets following them, like gca[1][2] and so on.
I initially thought these brackets with figures mean there are more than one hits such that [n] links to the nth link, but it turns out that they are not separately clickable. Only the entry keyword together with the following [1][2]..[n] together as a single part can be clicked.
What does these brackets and enclosed figures mean?

Skip the diagram and read "Follow these steps to use the Index." where it says,
3. Select a blue index entry from the list (where blue represents a hyperlink) to display the page to which the term refers. Multiple links per entry are denoted by numbers in brackets following the term. (Black index entries are only index headings and do not link to any page.)
Why that doesn't work in some versions is a different question, but the above describes what it is supposed to be.
