template in template? (references)

yep, i'm still asking stup..erm, simple questions :-)
well, i'm wondering if it's possible to use sth like following:

<xsl:template match="ref">
   <link href="@id"> go to ref </link>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="link">
   <a href="@href"><xsl:apply-templates/></link>
</xsl:template>

and btw. is there any simple cross-referencing solution in xsl?
i tried sth with id(), but i can't make it work.
