How do you access these protected properties?

The only thing you need to do is call the getter for the 
originalResource. If you use the object in a Fluid template, Fluid does 
that for you automatically.

It may be a bug, if you can tell me a way to access the protected 
property of the FileReference object which is supported.

If you use a subclass of FileReference it would of course work to access 
the property, but that does not work because it is only populated, once 
the getter is called. So we might change this property to be private 
instead of protected to force subclasses to use the getter instead.

Kind regards,
Helmut
