"reference (pattern of an image reference) - filter images whose reference matches the specified pattern"
What is the reference? It's not an easy thing to pick up in Google considering that it's a word used in many different contexts, including at Docker.
The only place I could find a definition after searching for a few minutes was a third-party repo (https://github.com/vmware/vic/issues/3945) where it is described as "specifically repository name or repository and tag".
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/ contains no mention of an "image reference" as far as I can tell - of course reference is in the URL so there's a fair number of hits for the word
