Perhaps a simpler and better approach would be to have a new
multipart type, say "multipart/embedded", where the first part is a
hypermedia format (e.g. text/html) with references to the other parts.
For an existing proposal along these lines, see

Abstract
The Multipart/Related content-type provides a common
mechanism for representing objects that are aggregates of
related MIME body parts. This document defines the
Multipart/Related content-type and provides examples of its
use.
This draft even gives an example of embedded images, though in that case it is
a JPEG embedded within a general SGML document.
