Dynamic online playlist

Sorry if this seems a bit of a confusing question.

If there is a playlist file hosted online with a constant address, which provides the addresses for a stream with a dynamic address (i.e. it changes fairly frequently)
is it possibly to add the address of the online playlist file as some kind of dynamic playlist in foobar2000, so it only loads the contents when I click on it?

If this doesn't make sense, I'll try wording it again


edit for clarity: (because I need to sleep and you deserve a decent explanation)

If there is this playlist
http://example.com/music/playlist.pls

it might contain:
[playlist]
File1=http://sub1.example.com:8081/stream1
...

and then a couple of hours later it might contain:
[playlist]
File1=http://sub453.example.com:8081/stream1
...

or any variation, so I would like to be able to have foobar remember only
http://example.com/music/playlist.pls
rather than parse it once

If anyone has any ideas, thank you so much

If not I'll see how easy it is to edit the database files by script
