Embedding dynamic content from other sources

I'm trying to determine if this will do what I'm looking for. I have a webserver running in a different place than the one hosting my mediawiki install (only accessible internally). I want to embed content from that other web server based on a variable that is sent within the URL. Example ([URL]/scriptname?sname=hh7750) - where that hh7750 is a dynamic value. I want to put the html that you get back from that query into the cell of a table or something along those lines in one of my mediawiki pages. Is this mechanism entirely static (i.e. you can't pass a variable)? If so, do you know of any other extension that I might be able to do that with safely? Thank you for your time - I'm a noob at the deeper workings of mediawiki.
