Kee doesn't resolve Field References #192

Description

@stefan-muc

KeePass support Field References, documentation can be found here: https://keepass.info/help/base/fieldrefs.html

They can be done by hand, or can be done when you check »Replace user names and passwords by references« during duplicating a KeePass entry. They look like e.g. »{REF:P@I:5FF7E1949F4BF94E8DB184DD6B4E3761}« for a referenced password field.
In an environment with different web services sharing a single sign-on, one will have one master password entry, and some slave entries for the different web services, referencing the master password and/or username. So when the single sign-on password has to be changed, only one KeePass password entry has to be modified.

With the old KeeFox Firefox extension this Field References got resolved properly, and sign on worked.
Starting with the switch to the Kee extension, the Field References don't get resolved anymore, but the reference text (as pasted above) gets inserted in web form fields. This is a bug, because sign on then doesn't work anymore.

I really would like to see that feature back in Kee, might that be possible please?
