it's mainly used for that. The principle is that you store a key in a node and you store this node into a larger struct which contains all your values. Then when you lookup the key, you find the node so you know the struct holding the key. That's how it's used in haproxy. Look at task.c for instance, the timer queue is scanned to wake up all tasks with an expired timer. The key here is the timer and the "value" is the task.
