iemguts' [canvasdelete]
(it also adds a message to the canvas class; so you don't need to use
the actual object, just ordinary dynamic patching messages)

then you're basically out of luck.
there is a reason, why a library like iemguts has an object like
[canvasdelete]: you cannot do this otherwise.

PS: but to be honest, there is a hacky way to delete an object, by
mimicking mouse events to select the region where the desired object
(and all other objects that overlap with it) resides and then mimicking
a keyboard event that "cuts" the object. this is highly brittle (as
opposed to the [canvasdelete] method which i consider *very* stable)
