Hi all,

I'm currently experimenting with the TEI schema for critical editions. There's 
one thing that goes beyond my minimal understanding: for internal references, 
the guidelines strongly suggest defining them with the xml:id attribute. Let's 
take the example of a textual witness, which could be defined as

<witness xml:id="A">manuscript A</witness>

Whenever this witness is referenced, it will be done with a target:

<rdg wit="#A">Hello</rdg>

How can I catch such targets in my ConTeXt setup? Would it be possible to have the #A 
translated into a macro \WIT:A or something like that? Would it be possible to have 
ConTeXt read in the value of the<witness>  tag to which the taget refers and 
typset that? There must be something easier than a huge set of nested \doifelse 
calls, but I can't quite find what would be the best way.

I hope this question isn't too confusing...

can you make me a small example file. i will fill in the bits for you then
