I think that a good way to handle this would be to give your Article ZClass
a 'PrincipiaSearchSource' method.  This method would read and return the
contents which you want indexed.  One side benefit of this is that you can
pre-process the contents to remove/replace stuff which you don't want in
your index.

PrincipiaSearchSource is the default method used to populate TextIndexes
(IIRC).
