Perfect! Thank you.

It looks like \currentreference number is initially empty, and when 
\doifelsereferencefound succeeds it is set to that value, and remains 
set to that value until another \doifelsereferencefound is encountered. 
If \doifelsereferencefound fails, \currentreference is again empty. Is 
that correct?
