Externally Referenced Dynamic Component Attributes

I've been digging for a while now and haven't found anything on this so thought I would post it here.

How would one go about getting dynamic component attributes to reference an external file - say a CSV or similar?

This would allow you to have a library of components with all pricing information in them and simply update the CSV when prices change rather than having to update each component individually.

I'm not knowledgeable enough with Ruby to know whether this can be scripted or not but I guess this would be the place to start: http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/tutorial_attrreporting
