econjack:
I read it differently. I thought he is asking for an array of pointers to other variables. For example:

Right, but I need only one element to be a pointer. Is that possible?

AWOL,

String menuItems[] = {"item1", "item2", "temp", "item4"};
String str = "item3";
&str = menuItems[2];

doesn't compile:
error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
