+1 I like keeping a simple approach to the issue.

I wrote a email a bit earlier [1] where I mentioned the way some old 
desktop system did it, with object residing in a container and objects 
having a reflection in a container. The objects that reside in the 
container, are deleted when the container gets deleted, deleting a 
container with reflections just delete the reflection of the object but 
the original stays untouched
