Re-reference Existing Assets
Fetch reusable asset descriptors for assets that already live on other records, without re-uploading the bytes. Each returned descriptor can be set on another record's Asset field via records/modify to share the same underlying asset. Assets are deleted only when all references to them are removed.
Documented in Apple's archived CloudKit Web Services Reference (RereferenceAssets); absent from the current online docs.
