Technical Information
Reference tags allow Dynamic Addressing of variables. You use Reference Tags in the solution similar to how you use references in .NET programming, as they both have a defined type. The target type for the Reference is defined in the Parameters columns.
Typed references bring advantages in both the engineering stage and in runtime. In the engineering stage, they allow IntelliSense to browse the template members directly if a reference points to a template. In runtime, they allow string data validation. All Reference Tags have an additional runtime attribute: the link property, which specifies which tag the reference will be linked to during execution.
