FCEs, plugins, images, text elements, etcetera are all content elements 
which can be placed by editors in fields of type "container for content 
elements". These are not stored inside a mapping or template, but stored 
as content elements in a page.

When you make an FCE you only define fields (which can contain text, an 
image, a link, a section, content elements, TypoScript objects, etc.) 
and map them to tags in the HTML. During the rendering of the page these 
tags are replaced by the contents of the fields.

The only types of content which you can define during mapping are the 
TypoScript objectpath and TypoScript only. This way you could write 
piece of TypoScript which loads a plugin (or image, text, menu, ...) and 
configure that in that piece of TypoScript.

The only way to place an FCE during mapping as far as I know would be to 
use the TypoScript CONTENT or RECORDS object to retrieve a content 
element which already exists on a page (or a folder). The disadvantage 
is that an editor with enough rights can edit or remove that content 
element. You could of course set that folder to Admin only or limit 
editing to only admins to prevent that.
