an easy way to store, get and set pointers with [list store] instead of [list-idx].
pointer-list-store-test_b.pd

just realized this is like a simpler [list-idx].

and i neither need [list-idx] nor [list store] for getting a pointer with a certain id
pointer-list-store-test_c.pd

If you open [list-idx] you see that it is basically this. I believe using [list store] is still the most efficient.

thank you. the advantage of [list-idx] seems that it can handle negative values, and doesnt output anything if the index is outside of the list range. and it can have an argument for the id. yes, i can imagine that [list store] is still the most efficient (didnt measure it).

@Jona Wouldn't this do the same as [list-idx] but using [list store]?

list.split2.pd
(the index is hot and the list cold though, whereas list-idx is the other way around, but it can be easily changed)

thats very nice. for me it somehow makes more sense if the id is the hot inlet, that way also the id argument isnt needed anymore.
i think its a nicer list-idx with less subpatches and objects. but i have to admit i never used the extra functionality of list-idx and in most of the cases i can just use list split for the id.
