SerializedProperty.exposedReferenceValue

Description

A reference to another Object in the Scene. This reference is resolved in the context of the SerializedObject containing the SerializedProperty.

Additional resources: ExposedReference<T0>, SerializedPropertyType.ExposedReference, SerializedObject.context.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

public class SerializedPropertyTest : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Object mComponent1;
    public Object mComponent2;

    void Start()
    {
        var timeline = Resources.Load("myTimeline");
        var so1 = new SerializedObject(timeline, mComponent1);
        var so2 = new SerializedObject(timeline, mComponent2);

        var theCamera = so1.FindProperty("sceneCamera").exposedReferenceValue;
        var anotherCamera = so2.FindProperty("sceneCamera").exposedReferenceValue;
    }
}

In this example, the same asset is loaded into two different contexts, `mComponent1` and `mComponent2`. The same object (called “sceneCamera”) in each context resolves to a different reference to a different Camera Object.
