/**
* Marks a property that refers to classes with {@link XmlElement}
* or JAXBElement.
*
* <p>
* Compared to an element property (property with {@link XmlElement}
* annotation), a reference property has a different substitution semantics.
* When a sub-class is assigned to a property, an element property produces
* the same tag name with @xsi:type, whereas a reference property produces
* a different tag name (the tag name that's on the the sub-class.)
*
* <p> This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
* {@link XmlJavaTypeAdapter}, {@link XmlElementWrapper}.
