Yes, it can be done using EUDs. All weapons have an upgrade linked to them through weapons.dat, and in MemCalc it looks like that link is established through the upgrade type variable of weapons.dat. This points to an upgrades.dat entry, so...

1. First you will need to find the upgrades.dat entry ID for Protoss Ground Weapons. Personally I would use Arsenal III for this, but if you're willing to scroll, in MemCalc there there is that list of entries in most DAT files including upgrades.dat. If you go to there, scroll through and find the upgrades.dat entry labelled "Protoss Ground Weapons" you will see its ID number right next to it. Memorise this number, or write it down.
2. Use MemCalc to find out how what triggers you need to set the weapons.dat variable "upgrade type" of the two Photon Cannon weapons (STS and STA Photon Cannon) to the upgrades.dat ID you found in step 1.

If you do that, you will now be able to upgrade Photon Cannons by upgrading Protoss Ground Weapons. One other piece of knowledge you might like to know is, if you change the "Damage Bonus" variable in weapons.dat you can change how much extra damage the Photon Cannon weapons do per upgrade.
