For references resolved by the XML parser (e.g. the reference to the DTD)
you can use a SAX2 EntityResolver. You can only do this if you are using the
Java API: create a parser, nominate the chosen EntityResolver to the parser,
and then nominate the parser to Saxon. I don't know if there are
"off-the-shelf" SAX2 EntityResolvers that perform the function you are
looking for.

For references resolved by the XSLT processor (URIs used in the document()
function and in xsl:import and xsl:include) you can nominate a URIResolver
to Saxon directly. You can do this either from the Java API or from the
command line. It's very unlikely you'll find an off-the-shelf one, as the
interface is not (yet) standard.
