In a word - No

When you specify a CFQuery, you specify the datasource it talks to, you
cannot refer to another datasource from within this.

The reason? The datasources might be of completely different types, i.e. SQL
Server, Text (CSV), Excel, Access etc. etc. etc. and there is no way to
properly communicate between them

As a "work around", if you're using Access, then make a Link Table within
the database, and it'll read the latest data.
