Welcome to the forums :)

Well, types are always passed by reference - a type variable is a pointer. You don't have to do anything special to make the field in another type point to a type. For example:

Type PointsAtAnother
 Field pointer:TheObject
End Type

Type TheObject
 Field Dat$
End Type

Local A:PointsAtAnother=New PointsAtAnother, B:TheObject=New TheObject

A.pointer=B
B.dat="hi!"
Print A.pointer.dat
B.dat="See, it works!"
Print A.pointer.dat
