Numbers cannot be made words like you have there.

Not too sure what you're trying to achieve, but if you're wanting to
search a block for numbers that are pointers to objects, that's quite
doable.  ie, you might have something like this...

prototype: make object! [a: b: c: none]
blk: [
    "123" make prototype [a: 10 b: "Abc"]
    "4567" make prototype [a: 12 c: 3.5]
    "890" make prototype [a: 1 b: "xyz"]
]

which, after they've been entered at the console, allow you to do
this...

>> find blk "4567"                       
== [
    "4567" make prototype [a: 12 c: 3.5] 
    "890" make prototype [a: 1 b: "xyz"]
]
>> find/tail blk "4567"
== [make prototype [a: 12 c: 3.5] 
    "890" make prototype [a: 1 b: "xyz"]
]
>> copy/part find/tail blk "4567" 3
== [make prototype [a: 12 c: 3.5]]

>> reduce copy/part find/tail blk "4567" 3
== [
    make object! [
        a: 12
        b: none
        c: 3.5
    ]]
>> reduce copy/part find/tail blk "123" 3 
== [
    make object! [
        a: 10
        b: "Abc"
        c: none
    ]]
>> reduce copy/part find/tail blk "890" 3
== [
    make object! [
        a: 1
        b: "xyz"
        c: none
    ]]

Hope that points you in the right direction.
