Is there a way to do this possibly by using the results of the first

That raises the question whether you want to use XSLT 1.0, XSLT 1.0
with extension function exsl:node-set, or XSLT 2.0?
And of whether, if using XSLT 1.0, pipelining two stylesheets is
possible, or whether we are really baking bread with our elbows. (It
has been done.)
Or to be more specific: no, it isn't possible in XSLT 1.0 to process
the results of one template with another, without using features or
techniques devised to do so. (These include the extension function
and pipelining stylesheets. For reasons lost in the depths of
history, XSLT 1.0 was deliberately designed without this capability
unassisted.) But it would be possible to get your desired output
using other approaches.
Cheers,
Wendell
