What follows is your macro-command with 3 little enhancments:
---
<binding>
<keyPressed code="F5" />
<command name="pickId" />
</binding>
<command name="pickId">
<macro trace="true">
<sequence>
<pass><command name="putAttribute"
parameter="href anything" /></pass>
<command name="selectFile" parameter="openFileURL %d"/>
<set variable="url" expression="%_" plainString="true"/>
<get expression="$url" />
<get expression="join(document('%_')//@id, ' ')" />
<command name="pick" parameter="'Choose ID' false %_"/>
<set variable="myId" expression="%_" plainString="true" />
<get expression="concat(relativize-uri($url, '%d'),'#',$myId)" />
<command name="putAttribute" parameter="href '%_'" />
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>

[1] <pass>...</pass> is used to test whether it is possible to add an
href attribute to explicitly selected element.
This makes the macro safer to use.
[2] I've replaced
<set variable="myId" expression="$%_" plainString="true" />
by
<set variable="myId" expression="%_" plainString="true" />
I assumed that the leading "$" was a typo.
[3] I've replaced
<get expression="concat($url,'#',$myId)" />
by
<get expression="concat(relativize-uri($url, '%d'),'#',$myId)" />
relativize-uri is an XPath extension function documented here:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/xpathextfunc.html
With more efforts, it probably possible to display in the "Choose ID"
picker something more elaborate than a bare list of IDs.
