How to add a (clickable) object in a print message?

I am playing around with the editor in simple mode. I am trying to make a simple game for my little girl who has some issues with learning to read.
I have added a container and inside that container is an object. When she opens the container, I want to try and display a message saying some thing like: "You open the container and there's an (object name)." Ofcourse I can display this, but I would like the object name to be clickable so she can pick it up. Right now it just shows up in the Places and Objects tab.
How do I handle this? Should I leave simple mode?
(Sorry for my possibly lousy English, it's not my native language)
Edit: I have searched the wiki and forums, but everything (outside the basic tutorial) handled there is waaay to advanced for me as a beginner.

You open the container and inside there's a {object:flower}
