As you suspected, we indeed do not recommend that you do this.

There are several different ways of doing this, depending on your
requirements. The user manual chapter "Non-logical Storage and
References" discuss this, have you read it?

References would not preserve information through backtracking. Non-logical
variable may be what you want.
