Hello,

in pdftex, I can do the following (the code is a bit incorrect):

% Declare that I will create an object in future
\pdfobj reserveobjnum {...}
\myobjnum=\pdflastobj
% Refer to the object
\pdfliteral{BT [\myobjnum 0 R]TJ ET
% Finally, create the object
\pdfobj useobjnum\myobjnum {(test)}

I can refer to an object created later. Is it possible with DVIPDFMx?

I've played a bit with different DVIPDFMx specials, looked at the source
code, and it seems the answer is "no". But hopefuly I overlooked
something.

Thanks for any suggestions!
