With jQuery you can load and execute JavaScript on demand. Before loading the script, append the playlist part to the script url like this:

HTML

Play list A
Play list B
Play list C

jQuery

$(".playlist-link").click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var playlist = $(this).attr("href");

    var url = 'http://www.viddler.com/tools/vidget.js' +
                  '?widget_type=js_list' +
                  '&widget_width=940' +
                  '&source=playlist' +
                  '&user=USERNAME ' +
                  '&playlist='+ playlist +
                  '&style=grid'+
                  '&show_player=true'+
                  '&player_type=simple'+
                  '&max=12'+
                  '&videos_per_row=6'+
                  '&v=2.0'+
                  '&id=XXXXXXXXXX';

    $.getScript(url, function(data, textStatus){
        alert('This is executed after your script is loaded');
    });
});
