So, You are a programmer right?? Kudos!!
On yeah! It can be done. XWidget uses Windows Script Host. That includes support for ActiveX and COM. You can see the MSDN for more details.

A step closer the tutorial you gave video you there uses the Skype ActiveX controls. You can create an ActiveX control and interact with it. The steps are same that you would follow for any WSH application/ VBScript. I assume you are familiar with these stuff, since you're attempting to do such stuff
here is a small code in jscript (vbscript is greek for me;) )
Code:
var ocx = false
try {
ocx = new ActiveXControl("SKYPE4COMLib.Skype");
}
catch(e){
//do something... Skype is not installed
}
if(ocx)
{
//call methods... do suff.
}
try {
ocx = new ActiveXControl("SKYPE4COMLib.Skype");
}
catch(e){
//do something... Skype is not installed
}
if(ocx)
{
//call methods... do suff.
}
Sidenote:
Event handling in script is weird. You can see the MSDN for more details. Such a discussion is out of the scope of this reply.
Here is something more you can grab...
