Hi Krish,
(1) getting data associated with a structure into ChimeraX.  If there are specific values you want to assign to atoms or residues, you can do it with "attribute definition format" -- a simple plain-text file described here:

<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/formats/defattr.html>

The assigned attributes can be used for coloring, or selecting atoms/residues with values in specific ranges, etc.
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/attributes.html>

Or if you mean something like density map or electrostatic potential map, or sequences and sequence alignments, there are number of formats that ChimeraX reads in addition to atomic coordinates:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#formats>

(2) I don't know how (or whether it is possible) to start multiple instances of chimerax from an HTML file.  Somebody else will have to elaborate on that.

My experience with HTML with the special command-execution links is that you start ChimeraX yourself and then can click the links to execute commands in the existing instance.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
