Good question. I'm not sure that'll work either unless you're able to inject that data into your MQTT broker since the station observation table is updated by MQTT payloads that match the observation's name.
What would be idea is a way to have a folder called "hooks", and have weewx generate any html.tmpl file within that folder. Then I could use javascript to get the contents of those HTML files much like how I am doing today with the other data. But that won't work because you have to define the folder and template file in skin.conf. If the file is missing, then weewx won't process the skin website generation. Not sure how best for you to move forward with custom text being updated automatically. There's gotta be a way, just need to think it through with the limitations in place.
