*Attribute type 7 stores a string in the "strings table", in this table next to the string we are trying to recover is defined an offset that "loops back" to the element that owns the attribute.

**Example: in [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/CXML_Containers#QRC_2 rhm.qrc v1.00] the first "file" element of the TOC (at offset 0x78) has 2 attributes: "src" (at offset 0x94) is a type 6 attribute, and "id" (at offset 0xA4) is a type 7 attribute, "src" points to the "file table" and defines the file by his offset and size (this way you know where is the file, no mistery with attribute type 6). And "id" points to the string table at offset 0x1B0. If you look in the string table, the first string has an offset that points back to the "file" element in the TOC at offset 0x78 (in the runtime we have readed the definition of the element "file" in the TOC----> then the attribute id with the string---> then back to the TOC to the same "file" element so we can read all his attributes again).

**The purpose of this pointer that returns back from the strings table ---> to the TOC is a bit unknown, seems to be related with the other attributes owned by the same element and the way how the structure is accessed in the runtime (maybe the system does a loop to access every one of the attributes that belongs to an element). This special feature is what has been named in the wiki page before as "ID with ref" (and "ID without ref" for att type 8 <strike>because doesnt have it</strike>), now we are using too the concept of loops, loopback, and crossed loopbacks, but in my oppinion the names of attibute types 7 and 8 cant be decided yet because we dont know exactly what is the purpose of it (is hard to give it a name before knowing exactly how it works)
