Description
From #3661 it seems like this is uncessary duplicate of `@ref` and from discussion that we shouldn't even try to use that but the swagger should be updated to not match exacly.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading issue #3661 and tracing references to `externalTypeRef` and `@ref` in the TypeSpec Azure repository. Check how Swagger output is generated and identify the affected tests or fixtures; done means the duplicate reference is removed and the Swagger output no longer matches it exactly.
