Is there a way to extract partial content from a tar.xz file?

I have a tar.xz file in a server. I would like to see what is inside and extract some of the content. The problem is that this file is 1.24TB large! My local PC can not hold it.

Is there a way to extract partial content from it?

Please notice that downloading the file in its entirely is out of the question.
