That specific syntax would indeed not be possible, but the following 
would work:

     <?php

     function destruct(array $a, &...$results) {
         foreach ($results as $key => &$val) {
             $val = $a[$key];
         }
     }

     destruct([1, 2, 3, 'b' => 'b'], $a, b: $b);
     var_dump($a, $b);
