Ha… one of the reasons I thought about overloading long ID is because pointer and handle aren’t very LiveCode… Maybe reference: get the reference of <object> Using such a reference to a deleted object would need to throw an error I think. People would need to understand that you couldn’t use such references in delimited lists. So if you wanted a list of object references you would need to use an array. FWIW the ScriptObject in LCB is basically what I’m talking about but as a regular script value type.
