and how can i access a subelement without using its name ?

The node test for an element of any name is "*", so to access the value of the third child and you don't care for the name of the children would be:

select="*[3]"

This node test is often used to check if the immediately preceding or following element is of a particular type, first by finding the closest of any name and then checking to see if that one is of the type you are looking for, in this case "is my immediately preceding sibling a figure element?":

test="preceding-sibling::*[1][self::figure]"

I hope this helps.
