There is no current capability to have multi-keyed access to address
data. However, there is a nascent module called Vend::UserControl that 
shows how to override Vend::UserDB functionality to do what you want.

This is one candidate for a big change in Interchange 5.6 -- we should
provide some ability to have multi-record addresses, and this is one
feature I will consider.

Thanks for the idea.
