Research direction

Start by locating the Docker source plugin and the Source.load_ref() entry point. Trace how project.refs is handled for source plugins, then implement support for the Docker plugin and the other source plugins in the upstream set. Done means project.refs works consistently across those plugins.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This is easy to support, only need to implement Source.load_ref(), we should support this for all source plugins in our upstream set of plugins.
