It's great!
Thank you very much Monk!
I made it up by [(search group={p2}* template="{+title}")], but your
suggestion is far better.
The second problem on my way is: Is it possible to use conditional
statement in template?
Example:
/*
[[#catalog]]
[(template first)]
!! Content:
[(template each)]
[if exists library.{+p2}.1]
* [[{+p}|{+title}]]
[else]
[[library.{+p2}|library.{+p2}:{+title}]]
[if]
[(template last)]
[[#end]]
*/
Thanks in advance,
Bogdan
