Yeah both Max and Maya have this ability, it's done through the API. If you did a complete install of Maya you can find examples and info in the $maya/gifts/hwshaders directory. If XSI's implemetation doesn't require you to write a plugin shader that would be impressive, but not being an XSI user I have no idea how it's done in XSI.
