You can map references to the titles with a stylesheet like this:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";  
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="locations"  
select="document('locations.xml')/places/city"/>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="title">
	<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
	<xsl:for-each select="$locations[contains(current(),.)]">
		<reference><xsl:value-of select="."/></reference>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

locations.xml would contain:
<places>
	<city>London</city>
	<city>Paris</city>
</places>
