This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/reference-handling-policy defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
literalLiteral ReferencesThe server supports and populates Literal references where they are known (this code does not guarantee that all references are literal; see 'enforced')
logicalLogical ReferencesThe server allows logical references
resolvesResolves ReferencesThe server will attempt to resolve logical references to literal references (if resolution fails, the server may still accept resources; see logical)
enforcedReference Integrity EnforcedThe server enforces that references have integrity - e.g. it ensures that references can always be resolved. This is typically the case for clinical record systems, but often not the case for middleware/proxy systems
localLocal References OnlyThe server does not support references that point to other servers
