[community-group] Additional properties -> "Reference" (for alias tokens), and "Comment" (#141)

reblim has just created a new issue for https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group:

== Additional properties -> "Reference" (for alias tokens), and "Comment" ==
`Reference`

When talking about "alias" tokens. One of the key properties I miss in this specification is the one that would allow me to identify the token that an alias token is referring to. We currently have the value property, which is supposed to inform us about the token used, but the value of the alias token in many cases will simply represent a "path" to the "option" or "primitive" token "value". 

It would be very helpful to have a property that preserves the name of the referenced token as is.

My proposal for this is "reference".

`Comment`

We currently have the "description" property that tools could use in different ways to inform users about the intention of a token. However, these definitions are in many cases very different from an actual "comment" used for example in code.

A dedicated property to add code or design comments about a specific token would be great.
