I once saw a linked list implementation where the pointers were inside the data objects. I hated it, at first, but I later realised their point. In your case, only if the number of objects allows for a sequential search, you could preallocate a bunch of something like
struct TextGlyph {
    char text[LEN];
    Glyph g; // or ofc a * if size varies 
    TextGlyph* next;
}


You would never erase anything, just overwrite data and pointers. But I assume you are already well beyond such naïve stuff, even if tend to love naïve. :)
