At this point introduce a link surrounding the title to the generated id 
for the chapter:

<fo:basic-link ref-id="{generate-id(.)}">

>         <xsl:value-of select="title"/>

</fo:basic-link>

><fo:block></fo:block>

In your template rule for the chapter, create the anchor:

<xsl:template match="chapter">
   <block id="{generate-id(.)}"/>
   ...

This resolves the referenced id from the basic link.  Because XSLT's 
generate-id() always produces the same value for the same node in a single 
run of the stylesheet (not between different runs of the stylesheet) you 
can use them at different times in the stylesheet to produce both ends of 
the link.

I hope this helps.
