The specific plugin type involved would be an AttributeResolver plugin, of
which there are simple examples in the code base in the "plugins" add-on
module. But this is a fairly advanced use case to try and implement a
shell-out capability, and I'm fairly certain something involving Apache
tricks is likely to be easier.
