Apple already tried this in in mid 90s. It was called OpenDoc. You could embed a drawing document live in your word processing document and if you clicked the embedded document the drawing UI for editing would appear.
It turned out to be absolutely horrible. Maybe it was before it's time with computers having only a few meg of memory and being slower than today but it seemed more of an issue because things like UI, when you click the embedded document, what should happen? How much of the drawing's ui should be shown vs word processor's. It was also a nightmare because unless every user had OpenDoc and the exact same components on the exact same version nothing worked.
