yes you are !!!! ;-)
This transformer does not perform what you want : it replaces named 
element by xlink locator pointer to the element. AFAIK it's mostly used 
with SVGs.

this transformer is typically written to keep only necessary data from 
eg. a huge SQL request.
So you can tell this transformer to 1st group your data in blocks (the 
'count' parameter : 'count' "title"-elements per block), then choose the 
'blocknr' block.

you only have to write your own...
To do this, you can watch any Transformer Java's code...
