I played around with it a little bit more and I'm cautiously optimistic that what I suggested works, but it has the weakness of depending on knowing the names of the referring attributes. I'm guessing, but I wonder whether the "feature under consideration" is the ability to do that match on "attributes of type IDREF which refer to a specified id" without needing to know the specific names of those IDREF type attributes, rather in the way that the id() function allows you to match on attributes of type ID without needing to know whether those attributes are really called "name", "label", "refnumber", or indeed "id".
