It actually depends. In the case of real shapes, that is, chunks of a subset
of SVG with a description and a list of connection points slapped together,
you can do most of what you describe. Two big exceptions: you indeed can't
include images, and you can't have a half resizeable and another half not
resizeable (you can set the aspect ratio to be free, fixed, or into bounds
you define.
For your "window" object, it seems to me you'd have to cope with writing a C
object (you can freely mix C and shape objects in the same sheet).
