Actually, it's id() that does that - idref() does the inverse.

Theoretically, the document() function will do this. However, processing 
of fragment identifiers is a little fragile - technically it depends on 
the media type of the document being known, since the semantics of 
fragment identifiers depend on the media type. You might be better off 
using id(substring(@href, 2)).
