Yes, it is possible with javascript, but there's no browser-agnostic solution.
If your target browser is IE, download the XML Parser SDK from Microsoft and
study the docs.

Subject: [xsl] How To Call XSL Template With Parameter From OnClick Event
I need to be able to allow users to click on a link from a summary
page and open up a detailed window based on what was chosen. How do I
call an XSL template with a parameter from an OnClick event?
Is this possible with or without javascript? I have tried many things
with no success.
In its simplest form, here's what I'm trying to do. Thanks!
