You should be able to do this by writing a completer function, that is,
a function to be added to the "completer" zstyle.
Something like this:
_query() {
local -a answers; answers=( ${(f)"$(<answerfile)"} )
case ${words[CURRENT]} in
# Handle '?<digit>' first using backreferences
((#b)\?(<->)) answers=( ${answers[$match[1]]} ) ;& # fall through
# Now anything starting with '?'
(\?*) _message "Querying answerfile"
compstate[insert]=menu
compadd -U -a answers # -U to replace "?" with the result
;;
# Else fail so the next completer is tried
(*) return 1;
esac
}
Just add _query to whatever is in your existing style at the point where
you want this to be tried, e.g.:
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _query _expand _complete
