Not sure I'd sign this. Technically, I could imagine the embedded object
adding Undo actions to the Undo manager of the container document
(letting those actions survive/handle the temporary destruction of the
embedded object when it is deactivated is, well, a challenge only, not
an impossibility, I suppose :) ).

Whether this is desired from an UX point of view might be a different
question.
