Does Teamsite support getting data from a REST API instead of a database query?

I did some searches but couldn't find anything solid - we are on 16.6 but planning to upgrade to 20.x soon. Basically we are curious if we can use REST API calls vs the perl inlines to populate Drop downs/etc. in the DCTs.

i.e. how we currently do it w/ the DB call

<inline command="d:/Interwoven/TeamSite/iw-perl/bin/iwperl.exe d:/Interwoven/TeamSite/local/bin/templates/databaseCall.ipl param1 param2"/>

Thanks in advance!
