That is very possible. I would argue that it would be better to use a drop-down list that could then have an onChange event handler or event a button which would, when clicked, get the value of the drop-down list (you should investigate the $F() function for this; it's in the Utility Methods) and then use Ajax.Updater to get the information from the server and display it in the DOM element of your choice.
