Subject: How to access a XML element from a given file ?

Does somebody know if it is possible within a ANT build file, to access 
the content of a XML element in a given XML file (not the build.xml 
file, another XML file).

Here is something I'd like to write, but doesn't work :

<property name="config-file" value="definition.xml" />
<property name="config-name" value="${config-file}/root/name" />
