[XCore] Cross-Reference vs Container Reference [message #1745895]

I am still learning how to use XCore and I am quite confused with Cross-Reference and Container Reference.

I know Cross-Reference uses the "refers" keyword then you can link it with "opposite" while Container Reference uses the "container" keyword.

But aside from that, what is the difference between the two? When should I use Cross-Reference and when should I use container reference?
