On a page https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/appendix/macros/supported_by_location
we have a lot of such macros. Some macros have useful description, I mean details about "...of the Nth item in the trigger expression that caused a notification"
I've counted 8 of them and they are related to notifications only.
But we have there a lot of other macros with similar syntax
{MACRO<1-9>}and they supported not only for notifications !
Sometimes users can suppose that for example
{HOST.CONN2} could be used in item key parameters and should return a secondary host interface details.
A proof https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40581
By the secondary interface I mean a not main host interface.
To avoid such misunderstanding I suggest to add some general description of such macro syntax on pages:
