I myself found out about this through experimentation. :) I think this would work if docs was a group of actual objects. However, docs is a "lines" Folder property. So, the sequence-item is just a string. If I say: <!--#var "sequence-item + '.title'"-->, it will say "test.title". However, I can seem to get it to actually track down test.title as if I had done: <!--#var test.title--> (BTW, I tried the example you gave and it prints the Folder's title.)
