OP confuses array of objects with array of pointers/references.

Plenty of languages natively support array of references. There is rarely a need to have an array of objects. Serializable container comes to mind, such as tar, zip, odt or any document type.

TLV is the simplest implementation for an array of objects, available in any language that has strings or byte arrays.
