Mouse macros and client-side wingets have created a situation where passing object references to verbs is now extremely unintuitive and a little buggy.

While "as anything in world" is functional, it's verbose and concerning. --Especially when thinking about refs to non-atomic types, as it's difficult to image numbers or lists being "in the world".

My thinking is that adding a new verb argument type "as ref" should be the catch-all for passed reference strings, and should be looked up to retrieve their reference on receipt, or null if reference not found.
