STL containers use iterators instead of pointers. If you have an iterator that points to an element of your linked list, you can access element's data through it, insert at the iterator's position using the list's insert method and delete at iterator's position using the erase method .
Instead of using STL linked list, you may want to define your own linked list implementation using pointers. For example.
