As you noticed, ids are ignored by templates. However, one of your 
elements should have uri="rdf:*", then the generated elements will get 
given an id that is the same as the RDF resource that matched the rule.
Example:
<menu datasources="rdf:null">
    <template>
       <menupopup>
          <menuitem uri="rdf:*"/>
       </menupopup>
    </template>
</menu>
Each matching RDF resource from the data source will generate a menuitem 
which will be given the id that is the value of the RDF resource.
If you were using cascading menus then you would still be able to get at 
any of the submenus this way, but the popups would be harder to address; 
you would have to use .firstChild or .parentNode after having obtained a 
suitable nearby element.
