I tried using \mathboxanchored, and was able to get the bottom two equations shown here. (The top equation uses \hpos, for comparison.)
mathboxanchored.pdf
Description: Adobe PDF document
There are two problems that I didn’t know how to fix.
1) The line connects to the box including the subscript or superscript, not
just to the e.
2) I cannot make multiple connections to a single object, like the e^\mu in the
center. If I try to connect top and bottom, I get no connections anywhere in
the entire document.
The code for the formulas is:
\startformula
% Each \connectboxanchors works alone, but both together make trouble:
\connectboxanchors[top][top]{X}{Y}
%\connectboxanchors[bottom][bottom]{Y}{Z}
\mathboxanchored{X}{e}_\alpha \mathboxanchored{Y}{e}^\mu
\mathboxanchored{Z}{e}_{\dot\beta}
= \textfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sigma_{\alpha\dot\beta}^\mu
\stopformula
I added code to turn the arrow produced by \connectboxanchors into my
contraction overlay, but that doesn’t affect these issues.

Yes, we only need to anchor to e.
Thanks!
