Maybe you have to look it in some other way...
You don't need to have an object with a mob inside of it, you need an
object that, reacting to some user interaction or command, creates a mob
and gives you a message about it...
For example, you could have a magic lamp, when you use it (or wipe it) the
lamp gives a message about a cloud of smoke and creates a genie, you could
here change the lamp to some other object, maybe to a non-magic lamp.
This is a quick fix for it. For advanced changes, like rooms or worlds
inside objects (for example, a Kandorr vase with a city inside of it) you
could either have to object send you to another zone (acting effectively
as a portal) and you could, for realism, put a flag or something that gave
you special messages when inside the bottled city, like when someone
'looks' at the object or different messages for the weather. etc.
