I have a stored procedure that takes a product_id and returns some data about the product. I would like to make a query or procedure that maps this stored proc over a “select * from products” query. Is there a way to do this?

It sounds like you need a user-defined function and not a stored proc. A user-defined function can be evaluated as part of a query (e.g. SELECT id, myFunc(id) AS ‘Product Info’ FROM Products).
See CREATE FUNCTION in SQL Server BOL
By the way, stored procs are permitted to be non-deterministic while UDFs are not. If your current stored proc is non-deterministic, you’ll need to do so refactoring/redesiging in order to create UDFs that can be included in your query.
