Pipeline each line of a file to a specific variable in a second command

Question

I want to execute the following instruction:

basex -bword=ENTRY consulta.xq

But for every line of a SampleText file (plain text mainly).

The SampleText contains the following lines:

hello
evening
courageous
...
happy

So more or less what I want to do is to execute a instruction in a one liner recipe similar to this:

cat SampleText | basex -bword=EACHLINE searchquery.xq

You can use while loop:

while IFS= read -r line; do
  basex -bword="$line" searchquery.xq
done <SampleText
