*Where* on the command line?  As the command name?  As an argument of a
particular command?  And, are you using compctl or compsys (compinit)?

I can tell you that you need to create a completion widget and have it
execute the command
	compadd ${(f)"$(<certain_filename)"}
but I don't imagine that helps you very much.  Unfortunately you haven't
provided enough details to formulate a more specific answer.
