Sure, this is one technique. You could also, akin to jump instructions, have a concept of data locality, versus instruction locality. You can do this is a lot of ways without resorting to something like segmentation, which everybody hates. Trivial would be something like a current "data pointer", which would see useful implicit updates, and well as explicit ones (akin to a long jump).
