Hi,

As per RFC-3261 section 19.1.1 "SIP and SIPS URI Components"
SIP URI is defined as:
sip:user:passw...@host:port;uri-parameters?headers

Headers: Header fields to be included in a request constructed
         from the URI.

         Headers fields in the SIP request can be specified with the "?"
         mechanism within a URI.  The header names and values are
         encoded in ampersand separated hname = hvalue pairs.  The
         special hname "body" indicates that the associated hvalue is
         the message-body of the SIP request.

e.g:
Refer-To: 
<sip:[email protected]?replaces=xyz%40example.com%3bto-tag%3dabc123%3bfrom-tag%3dabc456>

Now, Replaces header will be placed in new INVITE request created by Refer-To 
URI.
