Some useful features in this direction in Cache 5.0.5. Documentation hasn't
caught up yet.
In the referenced class add the class parameter:
Parameter XMLSUMMARY = "field1,field2,field3";
to define the properties that represent a summary of this class. This
summary will be used by default whenever this class is referenced from
within another class. If you need a reference that is the entire class add
to the referecing property:
Property refprop As cls (XMLREFERENCE="complete");
XMLREFERENCE="summary" is the default, but normally you can't tell the
difference since the default for XMLSUMMARY parameter is all properties in
the class.
Another option is XMLREFERENCE="id" which outputs only the id of the
referenced class for a property.
