Why not? Have a look at my RFC2397 [1] implementation which is exactly what you were thinking about, a new URL protocol handler. I've written stuff like this before, for example an URL handler that accessed a virtual file system implemented in Java. I can recommend an excellent document [2].
The next FOP release will contain the possibility to intercept the URI resolution so you can supply your own InputStream which is also a possibility. But that won't help you for your current situation. I'd go for the URL protocol handler. Such a thing is written in 2 or 3 hours especially if you have a template.
