In particular, suppose a document has metadata for several MIDI files:

<Metadata name="MidiFile">and06.mid</Metadata>
<Metadata name="MidiFile">ber22.mid</Metadata>

Is there a way, using the format strings, to format these as links to
the MIDI files, like:

<a href="file:///data/midi/and06.mid">and06.mid</a>
<a href="file:///data/midi/ber22.mid">ber22.mid</a>

(Notice that each metadata value is used twice, once in the href, once
in the text of the link.)

The sibling syntax is great for simply printing the metadata values,
but doesn't seem to go quite this far.

Alternately, is there a way to shove formatted hypertext links into
metadata values? Maybe something like:

<Metadata name="MidiLink">&lt;a
href="file:///data/midi/and06.mid"&gt;and06.mid&lt;/a&gt;</Metadata>

Has anyone out there abused metadata values to this degree?
