If your processor supports XQuery Update, you can do the following:
insert node <whatever-you-want-to-insert/>
into doc("example.html")/ABC[@x = "123"]
Please note that the result may not automatically be reflected in the
original document. As David indicated, it depends on the processor you
are using.
If you want to update a document "in-place" without storing it to
disk, you can also use the transform expression:
copy $c := doc("example.html")
modify (
insert node <whatever-you-want-to-insert/>
into $c/ABC[@x = "123"] )
return $c
