Not avaialble as an out of the box feature, however, you may look into developing a custom extension that would be delivering such a functionality.Attached is the documentation on custom extensibility.

What is the use case for this?

Having a Client Webpage retrieve information from the actual Computer itself is a general security risk since it might mean that a malicious website is trying to snoop/hack the computer. It may be better to have an actual agent running on the computer which sends the information to the Server and links it back together based on the User's login (preferably SSO)
