Search for matching XML elements from sequence using XPath

I tried to write query //*[contains(//*/@*[name() != 'id'], ./@id)] but was unlucky. Part of a query //*/@*[name() != 'id'] finds sequence of attribute values and I want to find elements from this sequence which contains ./@id but function contains can't operate with sequence and I don't know how to iterate through elements in sequence in XPath (I need to use only XPath).

How can I solve this?

Any help appritiated.

Apply contains() check on individual attribute which name isn't equal 'id'. The following XPath will return element where at least one of the attribute pass the 'contains' check :

//*[@*[name() != 'id' and contains(., ../@id)]]
