And how this can work ?

I do not see way for this.

Record pointer -- this is 4 byte ulong.

Field and table -- strings at least.

Also Record pointer take semantic of LINKS / FOREIGN KEY constraint.
How you can apply info about CASCADE deletion for Field Pointer?

It seems this will not work.


IF you need this, you will be able similaute this simply as
    ULONG field which store RecID of FieldID or TableID
