The semantic object you are assigning values to here is derived from
'name', e.g. if the above parser function call where to appear on the
page 'Jon Lang' the call would result in a semantic object 'Jon
Lang#name'. If you instead want to assign values to the properties of
'Jon Lang' you can do so by using the usual notation on the 'Jon Lang'
page, e.g. having [[personal::Jonathan]][[nickname::Jon]] and so on.
Now, if you wanted to setup a Semantic Glossary entry for John, what I
would do is something like
{{#subobject:glossaryentry|Glossary-Term=Jon|Glossary-Definition=Jonathan
Lang|Glossary-Link={{PAGENAME}}}}
and I would be very happy that none of this actually produces any output
because I don't want to have that stuff appear on the page of the person.
BTW, as an afterthought, there already are quite some parser functions
that do not produce any output. In fact, it would be very awkward if
they did (e.g. [1], [2], [3]).

Stephan
