Dynamic submission urls

I'm trying to load additional related data to my model after loading the initial data of my main instance.
The references to the additional data is included in the initial instance data.

Using the ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done" I would like to make the additional submissions when the initial data is available. Currently, the event is triggered and the additional submissions are performed with fixed urls. However, I am unable to extract the url references from the initial instance data achieving the sought dynamic behaviour.

How can I make the later submissions use the urls found in the initial instance data?

Cheers!

Re: Dynamic submission urls

I found the solution and its called Attribute Value Templates (AVTs): A notation supported in Orbeon Forms
which makes it possible to use XPath in attributes. Simply put your Xpath within curly brackets as such:

<xforms:submission id="list-submission" serialization="none" method="get"
				resource="{instance('main-instance')/data/some-element/@id}"
				replace="instance" instance="additional-instance">

In my case, the resource url I wish to extract is found in the id attribute of the element "some-element" in my main instance.
