Yes, it does (assuming the variable's still in scope). If the id() function 
has returned a node with a link child, you may even get a value. :->

But keep in mind the value-of instruction *always* gets you a single string 
(in this case, the string value of the first link child of the first of the 
nodes in $linkref).

Cheers,
Wendell
