Javascript accessing multidimensional Array without knowing all keys

I have a little experience in Javascript and usually I found solution to my problems just by searching here or with Google But this time, I feel that I took the wrong path

I have build an Object (multidimensional associative array) like this : state["a"]["b"]["c"] = "idle";

If I know "a" and "c" but not "b", can I change the value "idle" , without looping through each keys ? taking into account that "c" is unique in the whole object

Something like : state["a"][*]["c"] = "busy";

Thanks in advance for your help

If "c" only exists in one place as you've stated, then you'll need to loop through the items in the second dimension looking for the one that has a third dimension with an index of "c".
