--pdfcombine, --pdfcopy and --pdfselect switches are also available,
but my guess is that what you want is (currently) not possible. 

What texexec actually does is: it creates a temporary TeX input file
that starts with the \setuppaper, \setuplayout etc. implementing the
options you have given on texexec's commandline. In the document body 
it then includes (every) page(s) of the pdf file(s) as an external 
image. This image is scaled and rotated etc. as needed. 

This process probably trashes the internal structure of the document.


Greetings, Taco
