I think Inset (new in version 6) has the functionality that you want.
The first example in the documentation for Inset is
Graphics[{LightGray, Disk[], Inset[Plot[Tan[x], {x, -3, 3}]]}]
which insets a plot of Tan[x] in the graphics primitive {LightGray, Disk[]}.
The documentation says that "The object [i.e. the inset object] can be a
graphic, cell expression, string, or any other expression. "
