[Inkscape-user] including art in a text block?

Hi all,

I'd like to include svg art in a text block. Something like:

A-->B

...where '-->' is an arrow that I draw using the line tool. I would like that art to flow with text, staying always between the A and the B, even when I change the text. Is this possible under inkscape? (Note I don't just want to use arrows, so the solution of using a font with an arrow character won't address my problem). Do I need to create a custom font with the relevant art in it, or is there an easier solution?

Thanks very much! -Tom
