Description
Register is used as index into table of string pointers @ `mimikatz:0x44EE5A`:
The table of string pointers @ `mimikatz:0x4475ca0` contains pointers to four strings:
`capa` currently extracts the first string `INPUTEVENT` but it would be great if it extracted the other three strings too.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the current capa extraction for the pointer table at mimikatz:0x4475ca0 and compare it with the register-indexed table at mimikatz:0x44EE5A. Done means capa extracts all four strings from the pointer table rather than only INPUTEVENT.
