Everything is possible, it depends on effort you can put into it :-)

Putting following into your customization layer should do the trick:
However if you change your DocBook source autogenerated IDs will change.

Have you considered generating this SMIL file automatically? I can
imagine putting custom attributes into DocBook document, something like:
Foo
...

From such markup you can quite easily generate SMIL file automatically.
