Exactly!!! I think that it is possible to add an SLD parameter to WMS
request with a new style to be applied in an specific layer. I wonder if
this could be done in OpenLayers, or if it is any other way to achieve
this.

It is a very common feature. Look for some parcels, for example,
retrieve a list, and get all those parcels highlighted in the map.
