Can a script make a call to a website and return a new object that can be an assett in the world without needing you to upload it firs or copy and paste?
Looking over LSL i see no way this would work but want to be positive.

If you mean like scripts or textures, the answer is no. You have to upload that stuff or (for scripts) copy/paste it. There's a function for displaying images on a prim that are pulled off the web - but it's just a concept and not implemented yet... guess you're not the only one who would _love_ to have that... :)

You can use information to rez and shape prims in-world though. People have imported 3D OBJ models by carefully setting prim parameters, for example. You could certainly pull data off the web to do something like that.

(I believe you can point the media URL at a static JPEG or other image on the web. That's not quite the same as arbitrarily linking any face to an image, but it can be useful, at least for those who can use the video streams....)
