Why?
If it's for the same reason that target currently exists and you're
planning on using <object> like an iframe, then no, that's wrong.
Links are for moving from one resource to another. <object> is for
external data that is part of the current resource. If you're changing
the source of the <object> data, then you're changing the current
resource, and it belongs in the realm of javascript.
("Resource" here meaning the same thing it does in URL/URI)
