Just to be pedantic: in the case of <object> we are talking about the
@data and not @src, right?

Actually, your argument is not correct. My standard usage of <object> is
as an alternative image representation for an svg element.

<object data="xxx.svg" ...> <img src="xxx.png"/></object>

to give an image alternative if the browser cannot handle SVG...

I am not sure what the best solution is, and we may leave it open, but I
see a valid case where I want to add additional triples to the contained
elements...
