We don't have plans to implement it soon as we don't use/need references in Phalcon 2, we'll happily merge that feature if someone in the community submits a pull request implementing it.

Ok.If this feature is not support in current time, how can i convert dot notation string to multidimensional array. Any idea?

eg : 

"bar.baz.foo"
to
[bar][baz][foo]
