Question Track and heading at 90 pitch up or down

Please would someone put me out of my misery and explain how track and heading are defined at 90 deg pitch up or down. I suspect track becomes wind direction (if it is defined at all), and I seem to remember that there is a rather arbitrary way of defining heading, which I was told in my tech training, but for the life of me I can't remember it. (it was only twenty five years ago). For some reason it came into my mind a couple of nights ago, and I have been tearing my hair out ever since.

TIA
