I suspect that this wouldn't be too hard; you'd have to change the type in the 
EMBED tag from "application/x-squeak-source" to something else that would be 
associated with some specific version of the Squeak VM (possibly custom-built 
for your application) and "my image".

And another Squeak plugin would have to be installed, with "my image" in the 
right place, and this plugin would have to register itself as a handler for 
the appropriate types.

But since the plugin itself identifies the types that it's responsible for 
handling, and since these are hard-coded in the Squeak plugin, you might have 
to compile your own npsqueak (the Squeak plugin):

$ strings ~/.mozilla/plugins/npsqueak.so | grep application
application/x-squeak-source:sts:Squeak 
source;application/x-squeak-object:sqo:Squeak 
object;application/x-squeak-project:pr:Squeak project
