Is it not direct usage of primitive pointer types form of Primitive Obsession?

Using primitive data types to represent domain ideas is code smell called Primitive Obsession. For example using string data type to represent human name - it is recomended to avoid this by defining domain specific value object with apropriate methods.

But what about pointers?

Is it not primitive obsession to use CItem* or shared_ptr instead of more domain specific (value) types like CItemHandle, CItemLink etc. ?
