I am trying to get a copy-of an element by the value of one of it's

following-sibling::foreign-key[child::reference/@local=current()/@name]

Here's an example of the xml I am trying to process.

<table>
     <column name="parent_id" />
     <foreign-key>
         <reference local="parent_id" />
     </foreign-key>
</table>


I want to use the @name of the column in the xpath expression.
