Here it is (I've used DocBook's linkend to test the following macro):
---
<command name="setLinkend">
<macro>
<sequence>
<pass><command name="putAttribute"
parameter="[implicitElement] linkend"/></pass>
<get context="$implicitElement"
expression="join(*/@id, ' ')" />
<command name="pick"
parameter="'Choose an ID' false %_" />
<command name="putAttribute"
parameter="[implicitElement] linkend %_"/>
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>
<binding>
<keyPressed code="F4" />
<command name="setLinkend" />
</binding>
