Is it possible to append a div inside an SVG element?

Question

I am trying to append an HTML div inside an SVG, which I am trying to create a graph. I am trying to append it using the code below, but when I inspect element using Firebug

You can't append HTML to SVG (technically you can with foreignObject, but it's a rabbit hole). Furthermore, visible elements in SVG can't be nested, so elements such as circle, rect, path and such can't have children elements.
