Yep.  You can do something like:

struct temp_t( type : Object ) {
    void setOwner( type newOwner ) {
        owner = newOwner;
    }

    type getOwner() {
        return owner;
    }

    protected {
       temp_t *  head;
       temp_t *  next;
       temp_t *  prev;
       type      owner;
    }
}

struct temp_t( type ) {
    void setOwner( type *newOwner ) {
        owner = newOwner;
    }

    type *getOwner() {
        return owner;
    }

    protected {
       temp_t *  head;
       temp_t *  next;
       temp_t *  prev;
       type *      owner;
    }
}

So it'll use the non-pointer version for classes (i.e. anything that derives 
from Object), and the pointer version for everything else.
