that does not work if you haven't stored the metadata for absolute_url and
title in your ZCatalog...;-)

another approach would be:
  put the current object from the ZCatalog on the namespace:

<dtml-with "getobject(data_record_id_)">
  <a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var  title_or_id></a><br>
</dtml-with>

This would result in a little performance loss because
you have to wake up each matching object just to get the url and the id.
