I don't think that is possible as I think you are asking to call a third party program with FME. Certainly you can do some things like that by using the SystemCaller Transformer but I don't think that will help you. You might be better off asking DHI if its possible to run this function in a batch mode?
The only other option would be can FME do what the DHI extension does for you? I'm not sure without more detail but it may be able to if you can let us know more though it does appear quite specialised if you are referring to this http://www.mikebydhi.com/?

I don't know much (in fact, anything) about that extension, but if you can run that command using Python then you can probably do it using ArcPy in FME - using either a startup/shutdown script or a PythonCaller transformer.
There is an example of this sort of thing on this FMEpedia page.
