this will not be possible because all the references get resolved before
the execution of the ICE tree.

The integer to string will help a lot.
Is there any sort of string to reference node available?
Or does this work some other way?

you can concatenate your strings: prefix + integer + suffix. Now for
integer - string conversion there is Eric's emTools freely available:

Hey guys. Thought I would put this out there.
One of my artists is creating the effect of a page turning effect on a
book. The idea is to have hundred of pages being flipped magically by
another character.
The easiest way I found without using ICE was to take a single page
attach a series of chains to it, animate a singe page turn, cache it, then
duplicate the page, and offset the resulting caches. Works really well,
especially if I use 5 or 6 different chain animations to vary things up.
We wanted to try and use ICE to see how we could come up with a compound
for this mixing vector nodes and shome shapes.
So far we have been able to achieve most of what is needed with rotate
vector and mixing in a few target shapes that activate based on angle.
What we would like to do is construct a string, for example
polymsh.cls.shape.pageOneFlopLeft_Integer.positions where
Integer is a value read off a custom parameter from a given object
If anyone has a sample Ice tree that does something like this, or can
point me to a sample scene or reference that may help me work through this,
I would be most grateful.
Adam
