Here's a command which does what you want (I think):
---
<binding>
<keyPressed code="F3" />
<command name="initTopicRef" />
</binding>
<command name="initTopicRef">
<macro>
<sequence>
<pass><command name="putAttribute" parameter="href" /></pass>
<command name="pick"
parameter="'Please choose the type of topic you want to create:'
true
Topic template%Stopic.dita
Concept template%Sconcept.dita
Reference template%Sreference.dita
Task template%Stask.dita " />
<set variable="templateFilename" expression="%_"
plainString="true" />
<command name="selectConvertedFile"
parameter="saveFileWithExtension=dita" />
<set variable="newFileName" expression="%_"
plainString="true" />
<get expression="concat('"',
$templateFilename,
'" "',
$newFileName, '"')" />
<command name="copyTopicTemplate" parameter="%_" />
<get context="$selectedElement"
expression="relativize-uri(uri-or-file-name($newFileName))"
/>
<command name="putAttribute" parameter="href '%_'" />
<get expression="$newFileName" />
<command name="XXE.open" parameter="%_" />
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>
<command name="copyTopicTemplate">
<process showProgress="false">
<copy files="%C%S%0" to="%1" />
</process>
</command>

Just one problem with XXE V3.1. uri-or-file-name() is a new XPath
extension function which has been added in V3.2.
Replace:
expression="relativize-uri(uri-or-file-name($newFileName))"
by just:
expression="$newFileName"
if you want to play with this macro.

The above macro does this because it *ends* with an XXE.open.

Commands are global to XXE: e.g. a command defined the DocBook
configuration file could invoke a command defined in the XHTML
configuration file.
