For reference, the code:
----
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
        string[][string] mapka;
        
        string[]* mapElem = "item" in mapka; //Checking if I have item
        
        if( !mapElem )
                mapElem = &( mapka["item"] = [] ); //Creating empty element 
inside map
        
        writeln( (*mapElem).capacity );
        
        //Appending should reallocate, so pointer to array should change
        *mapElem ~= ["dog", "cat", "horse", "penguin", "fish", "frog"];

        //But AA still somehow knows the right pointer
        writeln(mapka);
        
        //It works, but I dont understand why?
}

mapElem is not a pointer to the elements of the array. It's a pointer to the dynamic array structure which holds the pointer to the data and the length. That means, the reallocation doesn't change mapElem. It changes (*mapElem).ptr.
