Subject: Pointer concept in Ruby ?

Hi, I'd like to have a variable pointing to a Hash/Array element, so
if I modify the variable then the Hash/Array element is modified too.

AFAIK this is not possible with Ruby since the abscense of pointer
concept. I want the following:

  array = [ "aaa", "bbb", "ccc" ]

  a1 = array[1]._some_method_
  => "bbb"

  a1 = "BBB"
  => "BBB"

  a[1]
  => "BBB"

Is it possible in some way? Thanks a lot.
