Geometrically, doing something like this is definitely possible, however you need to take into consideration that a lot of work went into a program like the one you linked to. So I would strongly recommend not to look for "universal solutions" that do everything, but to pick a challenge relating to your project and start with that.
I have put together an example using an external tool, which should be useful for winding. The example does not show a proper winding toolpath, though.

Best,
Johannes

...I now saw how they do it at 11:15 in the video - then you would need an external axis to rotate your part.
