Your wish has been granted. This can be implemented in ES3.1 as follows:

  function link(obj, prop, target, tprop) {
    Object.defineProperty(obj, prop,
      {get: function() { return target[tprop]; },
       set: function(x) { target[tprop] = x; },
       enumerable: true
      });
  }

(Don't add methods to Object.prototype; it's not necessary, and
Object.prototype is a global namespace that is subject to conflicts.)
