the latter: the document (eg product) has a category, and the synonyms
would be applied at index time. sports-related "bat" synonyms to
baseball "bats", and halloween-themed "bat" synonyms to scary "bats",
for example.

Not that I know of, synonyms are an all-or-nothing on a field.
But how would you indicate the context at index time as opposed to
query time? Especially at query time, there's very little in the way of
context to figure out what the category was.
Or were you thinking that the document had a category and applying
this only at index time?

Is there an existing TokenFilterFactory that can conditionally insert
synonyms based on a given document attribute, say category? Some synonyms
only make sense in context: "bats" in Sports is different from "bats" in
"Party and Novelty".
It seems the synonyms.txt file would need an additional column that could be
checked against the document attribute prior to appending synonyms:
*#synonyms category*
post,pole sports
wheel,caster furniture
pat,paddy,patrick holiday
Is anything like this possible without writing a custom TokenFilterFactory?
