Manually Creating a JSON Schema Reference with JSchema

I'm creating manual JSON schema using JSchema. Normally, I specify the attributes of a JSchema property like this:

JSchema props = new JSchema();
props.Properties.Add(KeyName), new JSchema { Type = JSchemaType.String });

However, for certain objects, I want the Property to be a reference to a property in another schema. When I do this by hand, this works:

"text": {
  "$ref": "Common.json#/definitions/Text"
}

What I want to do is auto generate the above property using JSchema. JSchema has a property called Reference, but I can't find any documentation on how to use it. I've tried to do it this way:

props.Properties.Add("Text", new JSchema { Reference = new Uri("Common.json#/definitions/Text", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute) });

But no go. What is the correct method for creating references using JSchema?

You can set $ref property like that

JSchema propertySchema = new JSchema();
propertySchema.ExtensionData["$ref"] = "Common.json#/definitions/Text";

schema.Properties.Add("Text", propertySchema);
