You can do that with a simply template, using the document() function

  <xsl:template match="ref">
    <p align="justify">
      <a name="{@id}">1</a>
      <!--
      open the 'document2.xml'
      go through each plink that has a connect/@xlink:from equal to the
current's node id attribute (in this case will get only one
      -->
      <xsl:for-each
 
select="document('document2.xml')/links/plink[connect/@xlink:from=current()/
@id]">
        Please, see <a href="{resource/@ID}">link</a>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </p>
  </xsl:template>

(...)

Hope this helps you.
