No, it's an embedded .pdf, so best one could hope for would be an embedded .svg.

One should however be able to annotate the graphic w/ appropriate text for reading aloud as one does for an
embedded MathType equation --- perhaps systems should standardize on using that to load stuff for CA
(Computer Algebra) interaction.

As a matter of interest, there are a number of articles on this topic in the last TUGBoat.

Grigg says there that "[TeXShop] is perfect for beginning or longtime  
LaTeX users. [But] ..."

I don't get it.

And the following paragraph:

"The more I've used BBEdit, though, the more I miss it when I'm not using it. So I've switched, and now I write
Latex in BBEdit."

I also found that to be interesting.

That is indeed interesting since I am a BBEdit aficionado. I use BBEdit regularly as a general text editor
for tasks not suited to TeXShop. Eg,

(i) edit system files (requiring authentication);

(ii) multi-file search;

(iii) search/replace using Grep/regular expressions;

(iv) html creation and editing;

(v) user-defined 'text factory' manipulations of document;

(vi) unparalleled scriptability;

(vii) well-done file difference mode.

However, I don't see that the latex-bbpackage provides anything that approaches the strengths of TeXShop
as a TeX editor---key bindings, command completion, macros, tags, templates, AppleScripting highly
suited to TeX, as well as the other source file operations specific to TeX. 

In short, though I'm a fan of BBEdit, I'll continue using TeXShop as my main TeX editor, editing text
fragments in BBEdit as convenient.
