Here's a perhaps simpler way to do it that you could customize further.
The Pollen sources define metas for each target

Why not just construct the links "blind"? For example
(require net/uri-codec)
(define (section name . elements)
`(h2 [[id ,(uri-encode name)]] ,@elements))
(define (xref-link file id . elements)
`(a [[href ,(format "~a.html#~a" file id)]] ,@elements))
(The uri-encode is
Interesting, thank you. Will requiring the pollen file also have it output
the compiled file to the filesystem?

You can also `(require "a-pollen-file.html.pm")` just like any Racket module.
Every Pollen source exports `doc`, which is an S-expression representing the
content of the document.

Thank you, I think you answered all my issues. I will try it out.
The thing that worries me the most is the `racket a-pollen-file.html.pm`,
that seems like not the best way to try to treat a page as data. But I will
see how far I can go!

One of the things that has held me back from using Pollen is what I
perceive as potential limitations. I'm not sure if I want to use pollen, or
use XML and write my own processor, and I am trying to make a decision.
I had a number of questions when I started this post, but I decided to look
