[basex-talk] Dynamic xpath

I'm trying to do something similar to this because I'll have to deal with xpaths provided by end users as parameters to a rest query:

var xpath='div/p'

for $i in db:open('en-us'){$xpath} return $i

I saw that it's possible to do it with other tools, but I didn't find if it's possible with xquery and BaseX.

How SQL dbs do it:

SET @XML1=' <Root> <Device> <Inspection> <Status>OK</Status> </Inspection> </Device> </Root>'

SET @PATH = '/Root[1]/Device[1]/Inspection[1]/Status[1]'

SELECT @XML1.query(@PATH)

Any suggestion that doesn't involve analyzing the query string and trying to rebuild it in some way?
