Is there a way to add zone_weights() in Sphinx?

Question

I successfully managed to use field_weights in Sphinx to get the relevance I needed. However my fields are actually inclusive of several html tags (e.g. <Author> and <Description>). I need those in one field because of some other config work I am doing. So the field_weights won't in fact work for me. What I need is a way to weight the ZONES I set up in sphinx. However zone_weights is not working for me.

Well no, there are no explicit zone weights.

Can perhaps use the individual boost modifier to boost words, that are also within the zone...

ZONE:(h3) banada^1.234

Thanks, that would never work, the list is sort of infinite. Sort of stuck here; I need the zones in each of the fields but need the field_weights. – user3649739 Mar 29 '17 at 17:50
Is there a way to make an index FROM another index? In other words once I do the work I want on the field with all the html tags/zones and store that indexed data can I now make another index with just one of the zones? – user3649739 Mar 29 '17 at 19:36
