I just tried with `{{display reference="sandbox.webh...@xwikilogo.png"
type="ATTACHMENT"/}}` and the element was displayed as is in the
WYSIWYG editor.
I think this is because the picker uses the search REST API
(/wikis/{wikiName}/search) which doesn't seems to use a reference
resolver.
So one issue is that you won't have autocompletion if you use a prefix
on a document reference.
Also one think I don't currently like is that you cannot edit the
selected item in the picker, which means, for instance, that if you
made a typo in "sandbo.webh...@xwikilogo.png" then you'll have to
delete this element and rewrite the whole reference.
I'll make a PR and show you some screenshots or videos so you can see
what we could currently have.
