How can I link one piece of data from a xml-file?

[blab]

Hello,
i am writing a report and I have Data in a xml-file that is supposed to be included in the report. I will write more then one report and only the data needs to be changed. So I was wondering if you could link the data. I know that this is possible in microsoft word (IncludeText-Field), but I do not have access to a computer with “word” for writing this reports.

for exaple:

My xml-file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<payments>
  <payment1>
    <purpose>CD</purpose>
    <amount>12.95</amount>
    <tax>19.1234</tax>
    <maturity>2008-03-01</maturity>
  </payment1>
</payments>

and I only want to link the 12.95.

I already tried different methods. So far I like “section” the most. But I either manage to linke the whole file or I get an empty section. I think my input might be wrong.
Does anybody have any ideas regarding this? (Totally different ideas would be very welcome too!)

Also posted on http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/15598 - it’s a lot nicer if you post such links yourself, so the discussion can take place in one location and people don’t waste offering solutions that have been offered somewhere else already.
