So I found a solution. I put the Data Merge line before the import XML line and the XML (though containing info about the merge fields) did not overwrite the input from the Data Merge.

for(myDocumentCounter = app.documents.length; myDocumentCounter > 0; myDocumentCounter--){

app.activeDocument.dataMergeProperties.mergeRecords();
app.activeDocument.importXML(myXML);

Out of curiosity, why?

And would this be the right path toward the original relink question? What would this be missing.
(find text preferences:{find what:"<<a800number>>"}, relink);

Thanks,
-M
