Re: [community-group] Additional property -> "$reference" (for alias tokens) (#141)

For example, when working with deep-nested alias tokens, tools could expose the `$reference` property (name of the referred token) to the UI to let the user understand token inheritance a bit better. 

When an "alias" token inherits its value from another token, the value of the token becomes the value of the original "option" or "primitive" token. It would be handy to also have a property that tool makers could use to expose the name of the token. This is so that users can make a better mental model of how tokens inherit values and where these come from.

You can read more about [options or primitives here](https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/issues/145).
