This is needed for folks using XML routing. An expression which can refer to something from the registry.
We can also add a ref function to the simple language so you can use that as well.

In simple the function should be ref:id where id is the id to lookup.

For example

<bean id="foo" class=...>
   <!-- options -->
</bean>

<setProperty name="myFoo">
<ref id="foo"/>
</setProperty>

And when using simple

<setProperty name="myFoo">
<simple>${ref:foo}</simple>
</setProperty>
