Currently, references are a union of different formats: strings, tuples and lists. We should define a concrete Reference class, with a defined JSON translation, to make detailed references machine-friendly.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating where references are represented as strings, tuples, and lists, then trace their JSON translation. Done means a concrete Reference class replaces the mixed formats and supports a defined, machine-friendly JSON representation.
