Is it possible to have a range of numbers in a data frame?

Is it possible in R to directly input a range of numerical values into a cell of a data frame (or some other data type) and have it return true if a number matches that cell?

I'm thinking something like:

A B
n1 1-2
n2 3-5
n3 6-9

Then I want df[3,2] == 7 to return true.

Essentially what I want to do is return column A whenever a number falls within range specified by column B. I can think of complex solutions to do this, but I'm hoping I'm missing something easy and straightforward.

df = data.frame(A = c("n1","n2","n3"))
df$B = list(1:2,3:5,6:9)

any(df[3,2][[1]] %in% 7)
