I think I just figured it out:

Yes, that is certainly suitable, but check out my earlier post
showing how to do this with an attribute value template.
I see above you have included the quote, and that is good as I
explained. Note that since you are in #PCDATA in your stylesheet,
you don't need to escape it, and the following would have worked just
as well (and not needing you to change what you have):
<fo:basic-link color="blue">
<xsl:attribute name="external-destination">
<xsl:text/>uri("<xsl:value-of select="Heading/@file"/>")<xsl:text/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="Heading"/>
</fo:basic-link>
I think this works because uri("...") is not actually a function.
It certainly isn't at XSLT time. It is a syntactic convention at
XSL-FO time ... I don't think anything is actually "called"
though. As you don't have it in a select= and you don't have it in
an attribute value template "{}", it is just text with parentheses in
it from XSLT's perspective.
I hope this helps.
