[basex-talk] Saxon functions in XQuery or alternatives

I am trying to to grab the line and colum number of an expression found with ft:search to better integrate results for dynamic interaction in an XML editor. I was hoping to use saxon:line-number, saxon:character-number, but they are unavailable in BaseX XQuery, only available in xslt:transform. Do you have suggestions on how to extract these details from what's available right now in XQuery?
