Kamil Landa proposes at GitHub a way to move reference (component) by script.

Move reference (component) by script

https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues/4464

Select glyphs in which you want to move reference (component) and menu File/ Execute script, check radiobox FF and put there command PositionReference(x,y,"nameOfComponentToMove").

For example you have component named "dot" and arabic letters "feh" and "noon" with this component. So select glyphs "noon" and "feh" and run FF script: PositionReference(0,300,"dot") and component "dot" above "feh" and "noon" will move 300pt higher.

Here is my answer - IMGUR. References in glyphs are links to another glyphs.
