<tr tal:repeat="files here/batch">
  <td><input type="checkbox" name="ids:list" tal:attributes="value 
files/id"></td>
<td><a href="whatever" tal:attributes="href files/absolute_url" 
tal:content="files/title_or_id">The file</a></td>

1.) this should work now if I understand your example
2.) You dont want to do much programming in ZPT since
     ZPT is for presentation only. The simpler the better.
     Form your values outside of ZPT with one or more
     python scripts. You can return any nested lists and
     dictionaries.
