Add a CEWP WebPart to a New/Edit/Disp form using JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to use JavaScript to add a CEWP to a [New/Edit/Disp]Form.aspx? The CEWP would point to an HTML file that is in a document library.

I've got a normal SP list in SP 2010 that has a NewForm.asxp, EditForm.asxp, and DispForm.asxp. I know how to add a CEWP to them manually by going to edit mode and then adding the WebPart.

I want to accomplish that problematically with JavaScript. So the JavaScript would add a CEWP to the pages and point the CEWP content to an HTML file.

You can specify your HTML file for the web part by adding a ContentLink node to the xml definition like this:

<ContentLink xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ContentEditor">path to your HTMl file.txt</ContentLink>
