OG has groups (and tables and subgraphs, which are similar to groups),  
which are graphics which contain other graphics. OG also makes it easy  
to interpret the lines connecting objects as forming them into a tree  
or graph of objects, so you could say that the objects pointed to by  
your 'container' object are 'contained by' it in the sense of the  
workflow you're putting together.

Right now there's no way to trigger a script action other than by  
clicking on the object to which the script is attached, though. It  
would be very nice to be able to do so, especially for the kind of use  
you're describing, but it could too easily become a security  
nightmare. :/
