Yes. Think of Objective-C references as pointers to opaque structs, and treat 
them like any other generic pointer variable. You can store them in globals, 
locals, statics, struct fields, etc. Just be careful about retain/release 
guidelines, i.e. if you’re storing a reference to an object in something other 
than a local variable, you’d better retain it first (and release it when you’re 
done.)
