Before we start with more difficult stuff, let me suggest a simple
solution first. Why not generate the content in body, where you
already have it working, but wrap it within a xsl:variable. Then you
can simply render that variable in one of the templates processing the
options section.

It should be that simple. But should you require more help, don't
forget to include your DSpace version, XMLUI theme and whether you
have Discovery enabled.

Simply set sfx.server.url in dspace.cfg to the base url of your
OpenURL resolver (link server), e.g. SFX.

DSpace will then generate a ContextObject [1] on each item's page from
its metadata and include an OpenURL link to the link server, whose URL
parameters contain the item's metadata. That way the link server can
provide services (e.g. find the full text) for each such set of
metadata.
