To reference objects that can be serialized only partly or not at all a reference has to be stored on the remote end to keep the underlying object alive and accessible by the client at a later time. Right now `objectId` is used in the specification but a PR is open to request such a strong reference and replace `objectId` with `handle`: https://github.com/w3c/webdriver-bidi/pull/206 Once this PR got merged we could implement such a reference store by using the type Symbol for the creation of tests.
