Stablilized Reference

[aminnairi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, it is possible to create a reference for DOM elements, but not for values. This would be great if one would like to create a reference to a value that does not involve a re-render when changed, like storing the state of an AbortController for cancelling a request, for instance.

Describe the solution you'd like
Update the createDOMReference function to be more general-purposed, or create another function createReference.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Create global variables.

Additional context
This would introduce a breaking change, depend ending on the form that gets adopted when implementing this in the source-code.
