Possible using local processing.

You are on the right track :) You need local processing.

Local processing is the overlay to XML DS. Fpr example, imagine this abstract XML:

<a>
	<b>
		bb
	</b>
	<c>
		cc
	</c>
</a>

Now, if you use this in local processing:

<a>
	<c>
		ccMy
	</c>
</a>

than final XML processed by TV is:


<a>
	<b>
		bb
	</b>
	<c>
		ccMy
	</c>
</a>

This is described in FTB.
