No.
References (of the sort that you intend to use here) are useless unless
they can be reused; the point here is that the multiple references to a
single definition reduce repetition, redundancy, and the risk of
multiple copies of a definition falling out of synchronization.

A joke, that. Love was the problem, not the solution. Being hit by a
car was better than love.
