Replace references is a very useful document creation tool to use when you are trying to generate a document for individual parties that are entered on the same card.
Example use-case
Husband/Wife or two parties that are associated together are best to be entered under the same contact card, but may need their own "Power of Attorney" document that essentially is the same, but just changes the name.
