That's right. "this" is be equal to the *current* page id. So you will get the abstract only from a page, which is directly above the current page in the page tree :(

The best way would be to set uidInList to the field_headlink. But it will be very complex (if possible at all) because uidInList is not an stdWrap in any released version, so you cann do this:

	uidInList.field = field_headlink

You may have more luck with RECORDS than CONTENT because RECORDS does not have such limitation in "select". RECORDS are almost the same but you can select from any page.
