Deus avertat.  But what would prevent this from being parsed?:

${${ref}[idx]}

or even:

${${ref}[$idx]}

... since an expansion can be used in the back end just fine already.
I dunno, but the above seems at least naively straight forward.
Also, that form  works with normal arrays. But if you say it
can't work that way I can't say otherwise, of course.
