xpath() is evaluated once: when the view of the <link> element is created.
In XXE V2.9, you'll be able to write:
link:after{
content: label(xpath, "id(@id)/../title") "[" attr(type) "]" ;
color: navy;
text-decoration: underline;
}
Unlike xpath(), the label() content object is dynamic.

Use a macro-command containing:
* Your process command + everything else you need to do.
* "cancelSelection" See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch06s05.html
* "refresh rebuild[implicitDocument]" See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch06s39.html
Not efficient, but it will do the job.
