The Ref element defines an alias for a CTF file so that it can be easily referenced in other CTF files.
Some applications allow users to set certain aliases, like graphicsMonitor, in their preferences.
When an alias is changed, references that use it might not get updated until the application is restarted.
If this attribute is used, then the path attribute is interpreted as relative to the base path. Otherwise, the path attribute is interpreted as an absolute path.
