AFAICS, the functionality you seek already exists, although it is not heavily advertised.
`C-c C-x t' will insert an inline task. Within such a `task' you can put text, tables, src blocks and other objects. Setting option `inline:nil' will prevent export, but leave the content visible to src blocks etc. Alternatively, you can tag inlinetasks as with headlines to control their export. Browse the commentary in org-inlinetask.el for more details.
