Object Reference

An Object Reference represents an installation object in a component. It is only a reference, not the real object; if you delete the reference, the real object is not affected.

Attributes

The following attributes and options are available.

Attribute Description

Location Displays the location of the referenced object, usually its installation path.
Alias Displays the internal name of the installation object; for most objects, this is the alias rather than the object's installation name.
