Passing parameters between xmls using cocoon


Greetings,

I am trying to pass a parameter from 1 xml file, prepared in an href tag in
an xslt, to another xml file.
How would I do this with cocoon?  

In my example here, I have two groups of records.  The XSL below a link is
constructed ...

							<tr>
	
<xsl:variable name="xlink"
select="concat('/content/xml/TESTKPI.CXML?',$rname)"/>
								<a
href="{$xlink}" target="Global KPI List">More KPIs ...</a>
								<!--a
href="/content/xml/TESTKPI.CXML?&{$rlink}" target="Global KPI List">More
KPIs ...</a-->
							</tr>

that contains a parameter of the group.

Next, my xml has to pull this parameter in.  Can I do this with XSP?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
thank you.
