How to get only selected section from Remote Link?

Hello,

I'm struggling to find a way to get selected section template from the remote link.

The idea is to allow the selection of a page and a section, from any remote project, and then to display only selected section in the html channel.

Here is the Form:

<FS_REFERENCE name="st_ref" hFill="yes" sections="yes" useLanguages="no">
      <FILTER>
        <HIDE type="all"/>
        <ALLOW type="pageref"/>
        <ALLOW type="pagereffolder"/>
        <ALLOW type="sectiontemplate"/>
      </FILTER>
      <LANGINFOS>
        <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Ziel"/>
        <LANGINFO lang="EN" label="Target"/>
      </LANGINFOS>
      <PROJECTS>
        <REMOTE name="RemoteProjectOne">
          <SOURCES>
            <FOLDER name="root" store="sitestore"/>
          </SOURCES>
        </REMOTE>
        <REMOTE name="RemoteProjectTwo">
          <SOURCES>
            <FOLDER name="root" store="sitestore"/>
          </SOURCES>
        </REMOTE>
        <REMOTE name="RemoteProjectThree">
          <SOURCES>
            <FOLDER name="root" store="sitestore"/>
          </SOURCES>
        </REMOTE>
      </PROJECTS>
    </FS_REFERENCE>

I tried with $CMS_VALUE(st_ref.getSection())$ method and it doesn't return anything, but when I check it if it is empty with $CMS_VALUE(st_ref.getSection().isEmpty())$ it returns false.

So does this means that the section exists but it is just not displayed? What am I missing here? Or is there any other way to do this?

Thanks in advance.
