I already tried it and it forces me to put "constant" if I put the "&". If i put
the constant obviously then I can't change the value which is what I want.

Generally speaking, what I am trying to do is modify the value of an attribute
in a DynamicType and I try to do it by getting an attribute from a DynamicType
as void*, casting it to std::string and changing the value
