calling executable during transformation

Is there a way to call executable while performing xslt?
So what I need, is to open an xml file (with embeded xsl document) in
IE, and xsl would run executable to get part of data.

My xml document contains data that has to be passed to executable to
get additional data, for example, by document can contain stock name,
and executable can lookup the price of the stock based on the name, so
that the final output (on IE screen) would contain the stock name and
price.
The xml file and program are not looking up stock symbols, I am just
trying illustrate why one would need this functionality.

Is it possible to do what I am describing? (calling executable from xsl
file?)
This is not intended to hack anyone's system.  The file will be on the
machine on which the browser is being opened, it's not being downloaded
off the internet - it's a local file, so no security issues.

Thank you.
Alex
