Pointer to slice element

Getting Help Code Review
1

I am wondering if it is possible to get a pointer to a slice element.
Following code:

type Val struct{ key string }
vals := make([]Val, 2)
vals[0] = Val{"A"}
vals[1] = Val{"B"}
ptr := &vals[0]
println(ptr.key)
vals[0] = Val{"C"}
println(ptr.key)

prints A C
It makes sense because we got pointer to first slot of the slice. Is there any way to get pointer to first element of slice without copying?

It makes sense what is happening. So we got pointer to slot 0, then this address is overwritten with new Item, so address of slot 0 has this new item.
We can mark this as resolved.
