You'll have to use a separate namespace - jQuery, internally, expects
the 'this' object to refer to itself - and if it's within the context
of another object, it'll probably get confused. (I've never tried this
personally.)
That being said, I like that idea, and it would be cool if jQuery
could do that. If you'd like, you can file a ticket and I can look
into it.
