note 70372 added to language.references

How can i unset an object when i have only a reference to it? Can i make a destructor inside the object an make a call to destroy that object? Or pass a &$this reference to a friend function that makes someting like unset($param) ? Pls help me with this. I need it for removing children from a tree without searching the parent of the node and by having a reference to the given child node.
