Allow element references to have a different name

Allow element references to have a different name be defined. This will make it easier to build alternate hierarchies in AF. A new string substitution parameter (perhaps %ReferenceElement%) would also need to be created to distinguish from %Element%.

    Allowing different names for element references can cause usability problems as users may easily lose track of what they are. As such, we have no plans to implement this idea.
