    Not possible. Rest or Odata just support CRUD(create , read, update, delete) operations or  may be associate/ dissociate.

    No other calls are possible using odata.

    It's just a subset.

    Other option is to update an entity/ or create an entity using odata which in turns trigger your plugin or workflow for that entity.

    I hope this helps.

    To execute a plugin/workflow you need to trigger an event. If your odata is performing a crud operation on the entity, the event will trigger.

    If you are trying to start a plugin\ workflow with out crud operation, you need to use soap call.

    Here is sample on how to start a workflow in javascript
