Given that dynamic UI controls such as Dynamic Parameter and Uno-Choice <https://github.com/biouno/uno-choice-plugin> only support groovy, I think it may be worthwhile investigating how groovy can be used to access MongoDB.
To start with I would consider using the gmongo <https://github.com/poiati/gmongo> wrapper to MongoDB.
