I was looking for a way to create a weak reference to either a struct or

Any guidance as to where I should look?

It has some caveats (see the comments).
It certainly does have some caveats. And according to at least one of
them it may break badly in the future from a plausible compiler change.
Well, it's what I asked for, but using something that can be expected to
break without warning. I want to write code that I can forget after I test.
It would have been a great convenience, but that's a bit too high a
price to pay for a convenience.
