Are references unique across documents?

Hi,

I was wondering whether References are unique across documents in my project? I know that UniqueIDs are and IDs are not.

Probably yes, the Reference has the UniqueId embedded in the stable representation.

Using a UniqueId of the element with Reference.ParseFromStableRepresentation gonna result in the Reference of the element.

Reference reference = Reference.ParseFromStableRepresentation(document, element.UniqueId);
