I'm not so familiar with XPath. A real/full XPath should of course work.
Only if that is cumbersome we should consider an abbreviated form.

What might be a problem is that the flexform fields support the loading
of different definitions by type and subtype of the record. In theory
the same XPath could match for different forms. This may or may not been
intended by the site admin. So I think that it mus be possible to tie an
XPath to the correct (sub)type of the record.
