parse xml from api with xslt 2.0

I would like to enter into an xml file some elements retrieved from an api request, using xslt 2.0.

for example I have this query: https://api.zotero.org/users/2138134/items?tag=quaderni&format=tei

which returns 

<listBibl xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
<biblStruct type="journalArticle" xml:id="zoteroItem_1">
<analytic>
<title level="a"/>
</analytic>
<monogr>
<title level="j">Quaderni di Archeologia della Libia</title>
<edition>31</edition>
<imprint>
<biblScope type="vol">vol. I</biblScope>
<date>1950</date>
</imprint>
</monogr>
</biblStruct>
</listBibl>

I would then like to add some of the content I have there to my file. let's say I have 

<bibliography><ptr target="quaderni"></bibliography>

and I want to have

<bibliography>
    <listBibl xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
    <biblStruct type="journalArticle" xml:id="zoteroItem_1">
    <analytic>
    <title level="a"/>
    </analytic>
    <monogr>
    <title level="j">Quaderni di Archeologia della Libia</title>
    <edition>31</edition>
    <imprint>
    <biblScope type="vol">vol. I</biblScope>
    <date>1950</date>
    </imprint>
    </monogr>
    </biblStruct>
    </listBibl>
</bibliography>

I have put into a variable the api query based on the content of the @target and I thought I would then be able to simply use the fn:document to parse the xml, but it does not seem to work, and I fear this is just not possible. thanks in advance for any help.

Here is an example doing what you say you tried:

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="2.0">

<xsl:param name="url1" select="'https://api.zotero.org/users/2138134/items?tag=quaderni&amp;format=tei'"/>

<xsl:output indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* , node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="ptr[@target = 'quaderni']">
  <xsl:copy-of select="doc($url1)"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Output for me is 

<bibliography>
   <listBibl xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
      <biblStruct type="journalArticle" xml:id="zoteroItem_1">
         <analytic>
            <title level="a"/>
         </analytic>
         <monogr>
            <title level="j">Quaderni di Archeologia della Libia</title>
            <edition>31</edition>
            <imprint>
               <biblScope type="vol">vol. I</biblScope>
               <date>1950</date>
            </imprint>
         </monogr>
      </biblStruct>
   </listBibl>
</bibliography>
