Not unless you have another script to extract the name of the script and run it.
There is no way, AFAIK, to invoke something directly from the command line that lives inside an xml file. Mainly because it has to be "decoded" or parsed out of xml.

I did something like this a few years ago, but I had to write a custom C program
which used libxslt and libxml2 routines to extract the required command line and
then system() to execute the command.
