referencing
Pointing to sources
Referencing is citing or mentioning a source, whether formally in academic writing or casually in conversation: The paper requires proper referencing, She kept referencing that movie we saw.
In technical contexts, referencing means creating a link or pointer to data stored elsewhere: The code is referencing a null object.
