MessagePort is pretty close to that model, please have a look.
A MessagePort A has a related MessagePort B to which it sends messages.
When transferring A, a reference to its MessagePort B needs to be as a slot of a DataHolder.
Then when recreating A, the new MessagePort A' will set its MessagePort B from the DataHolder structure.

The spec wording is not using weak reference which I think is fine.
Initially I was not using weak reference here (the GC note was sufficient to me) but adding it makes things a tad clearer I think.
If Chrome is implementing this with UUIDs as the weak reference tool, this is perfectly fine.
