-## Specifying linking tables and/or field names
+## Specifying linking tables and field names
 
+A field of type `references` can be further narrowed down to specify not just the table name, but also the field name of the referring record.
+
+In the comic book example, this can be used to keep track of which people own comic books (via a `comics` field on the `person` table), versus those who borrow those (via a separate `borrowed_comics`) field. Any `comic_book` can keep track of these separately by defining one field with the type `references<person, comics>`, and another field with the type `references<person, borrowed_comics>`.
+
+```surql
+DEFINE FIELD comics ON person TYPE option<array<record<comic_book>>> REFERENCE;
+DEFINE FIELD borrowed_comics ON person TYPE option<array<record<comic_book>>> REFERENCE;
+DEFINE FIELD owned_by ON comic_book TYPE references<person, comics>;
+DEFINE FIELD borrowed_by ON comic_book TYPE references<person, borrowed_comics>;
+
+CREATE person:one SET comics = [comic_book:one];
+CREATE person:two SET borrowed_comics = [comic_book:one];
+CREATE comic_book:one SET title = "Loki, God of Stories";
+SELECT * FROM comic_book;
+```
+
+```surql title="Output"
+[
+	{
+		borrowed_by: [
+			person:two
+		],
+		id: comic_book:one,
+		owned_by: [
+			person:one
+		],
+		title: 'Loki, God of Stories'
+	}
+]
+```
+
+## Specifying deletion behaviour
+
+When keeping track of references, it is very likely that you will want some behaviour to happen when a reference is deleted. Take the following example of a `person` who owns a `comic_book`, which is later deleted. However, a follow-up `SELECT * FROM person` still shows the comic book.
+
+```surql
+DEFINE FIELD comics ON person TYPE option<array<record<comic_book>>> REFERENCE;
+DEFINE FIELD owned_by ON comic_book TYPE references<person, comics>;
+
+CREATE comic_book:one SET title = "Loki, God of Stories";
+CREATE person:one SET comics = [comic_book:one];
+DELETE comic_book:one;
+SELECT * FROM person;
+```
+
+```surql title="Output"
+[
+	{
+		comics: [
+			comic_book:one
+		],
+		id: person:one
+	}
+]
+```
+
+A query using `INFO FOR TABLE person` shows that the actual statement created using `REFERENCE` does not finish at this point, but includes the clause `ON DELETE IGNORE`.
+
+```surql
+{
+	events: {},
+	fields: {
+		comics: 'DEFINE FIELD comics ON person TYPE option<array<record<comic_book>>> REFERENCE ON DELETE IGNORE PERMISSIONS FULL',
+		"comics[*]": 'DEFINE FIELD comics[*] ON person TYPE record<comic_book> REFERENCE ON DELETE IGNORE PERMISSIONS FULL'
+	},
+	indexes: {},
+	lives: {},
+	tables: {}
+}
+```
+
+This `ON DELETE` clause can be modified to have some other behaviour besides ignoring when a reference is deleted.
+
+### ON DELETE REJECT
+
+`ON DELETE REJECT` will outright make it impossible to delete a record that is referenced from somewhere else.
