You can do many things that are "something like that", but whether they will
have the right effect is anyone's guess, since you don't tell us what you
expect the output to be.

Perhaps @pattern contains an XPath expression? In that case the answer is
no, (this keeps coming up), you can't execute an XPath expression that is
read from the source document or constructed at run-time from a string.
Unless you use Saxon and the saxon:evaluate() extension.

Because the select attribute of xsl:value-of is not one of the (few)
attributes in which attribute value templates are allowed.
