Why do you want to do that?

setref.c implements the final stage of planner, where the
variable/expression references in the parent plan nodes are fixed by
pointing them to expressions/parts of expressions/variables from their
children. This error means that some of the things that parent node is
referring to are not available in the children as expected.
