embedding morphs in text

I would like to embed morphs in text and have them flow with the text.
Is this possible?

Despite dilligent digging, the only kinds of embeddings I could find by
looking at the code are:

    -- morphs can be embedded at particular coordinates inside a "Text"
       object; the text will flow around the embedded morph (well, most
       of the time)

    -- text can be made special through text properties so that something
       happens when you click on it

What I'm looking for is the following:

    -- I'd like to embed a morph in the text as if it were a glyph;
       by default, HTML images act that way, and the Tk text widget
       offers this functionality as well

What would also be useful would be this:

    -- I'd like to embed a morph in the text similar to what
       <img align=left ...> and similar do; that is, the morph
       would be associated with a particular text location, but
       the text would still flow around it.

Is there some magical morph that I didn't find?

Thanks,
Thomas.
