Absolute reference should show the absolute path to object (e.g. "Scene.Layer.Cube"). Instead, it always shows just the object name (e.g. "Cube").

Path reference should show the relative reference to selected object (e.g. "this.Material" or "parent.parent.Layer2.Sphere"). Instead it shows the relative reference as if the current object is the scene (e.g. "this.Layer.Cube).
