SomeType[SomeOtherType] aa;

...
SomeType* aap = aKey in aa;

The lifetime of aap needs to be clarified. In particular with respect to:
* Removal of aKey from the aa
* Removal of another element from the aa
* Addition of another element to the aa
* Modification of an existing element in the aa with "aa[key] = something"
* Modification of this element in the aa with "aa[aKey] = something".
