I believe that the only way to do this at present is to construct a GET
request URL string, exactly like the mart links on the left panel of
Ensembl's ComparaView. This supports only a limited range of functions,
e.g. only a single dataset can be queried at once.

The ability to use Mart XML as an access path into MartView is something
that has cropped up before, but I'm not sure if we ever implemented it.

Syed or Arek will be able to tell you for sure.

cheers,
Richard
