Getting reference to QSharedPointer from its object

Cocojambo

class Player {
    public:
        QString ID;
        static inline QHash<QString, QSharedPointer<Player>> players;

        void save(QSharedPointer<Player>& player) {
            players.insert(player->ID, player);
        }
};

int main() {
    auto player = QSharedPointer<Player>(new Player);
    player->ID = "ID10";
    player->save(player);
}

Is it possible to get rid of passing reference to QSharedPointer object in save() method while saving a new object?
And I wouldn't like to pass it via some method like player->bindPointer(player);
Maybe some kind of auto player = QSharedPointer<Player>(new Player(player)); and then in constructor assign passed pointer. But I know that it won't work. Or in save() method I could call some magic method to get "parent" wrapper like:

void save() {
    players.insert(player->ID, this->getPointer());
}

Just wonder if there is some trick to do it.

I'm not sure I get what you mean.

You can do:

void save(const QString& id) {
auto player = QSharedPointer<Player>::create();
player->ID = id
players.insert(id, player);
}

and then call save(QStringLiteral("ID10"));
