Unfortunately, there is no linkend_s_ (plural), only linkend (singular).

Not sure if this is what you need, but have you tried <citation>?

  <para> 
   See <citation><biblioref
      linkend="ref1"/>, <biblioref
      linkend="ref2"/></citation>.
  </para>

The stylesheets create this output:

  See [1, 2].

Be careful about whitespaces inside <citation>; I think, they are
preserved.

However, if I'm not mistaken, the stylesheets cannot accumulate
citations to 1, 2, and 3 and create 1-3.
