Here is my problem with this.  \nomenclature is not just a pointer to
the equation.  It is also a definition of a symbol.  If you have two
commands for the same symbol, should the definion be the same?  What
if you changed one without changing another?

Maybe you need another interface where you want to (1) define a
symbol, and (2) collect the important equations where it is used? I
think these tasks require different commands, do not they?

Good luck
