Adds a reference for every property Tabular Editor shows in the Properties view, under References > Object Properties Reference (content/references/object-properties/).

  • 15 pages: an overview, common properties, and one page per object family (model, tables, columns, measures and KPIs, calculation groups, hierarchies, relationships, partitions, data sources, security, perspectives and cultures, calendars, functions and sets). Properties are grouped by their Properties view category.
  • The property list comes from TOMWrapper.dll, so it matches what the Properties view shows. Descriptions are written from scratch, with links to the relevant Tabular Editor features, scripts and BPA rules.
  • Properties that Tabular Editor adds on top of TOM are marked computed, shortcut to … or stored as an annotation.
  • Behavior was checked against the TE3 and TE2 source and tested on SQL Server 2025 Analysis Services, Azure Analysis Services, Power BI Desktop, the Power BI service over XMLA, and Excel.
  • 42 open questions remain as <!-- TODO (not verifiable …) --> HTML comments. They don't render. Most are questions for Microsoft.
  • Also adds the section to the References TOC and index, and links it from the Properties view page.

Local build: the new pages build and pass check-links local. The remaining DocFX warnings are API cross references on existing pages; the API step couldn't resolve Dax.Metadata, Microsoft.Fabric.Api and Microsoft.PowerBI.Api locally.

Restructure every page to H2 objects and H3 properties with the Properties
view category on the meta line, and apply the house voice: reference-style
entries, no hedging, contrast framing or rationale, TOM names in backticks,
abbreviations spelled out on first use and error messages in quotes.
Verified behavior, links and open TODO comments are unchanged.

A shared include (content/includes/ai-assisted.partial.md) adds a NOTE after the title of each page.
