So you are saying you would like a built in live stream feed, like the ones commonly used for community carnage games. And you would like to be able to interact with this object from a third party perspective.
If I am on spot please tell me. But I have a critique for you.
First the problem.
I believe to take control of in game objects would require real time update software.
Poking changes to live games. This is easily accomplished by developers who are making a game. It allows them to change a game while playing it. The problem is these tools require a DevKit and a unique XEX to run. This software is carefully safeguarded by MS on top of being horrendously expensive.
Second problem is the bandwidth. Just rendering videos is expensive. Real Time streaming and pinging changes into a game over the internet by thousands of players would cost a fortune, assuming Bungies servers even have the processing power capable of supporting that.
Cool idea, but very inpracticle.
Bungie has dev kits and everything they need to do that, they have had that stuff for the past what? 6 or so years.
its impractical though. and presents security risks.
