unity_component_set_reference
Set an object reference on a component property by specifying a scene GameObject, asset path, or instance ID. Resolves references more accurately than general property setters for wiring GameObjects, components, and assets.
Instructions
Set an object reference on a component property. Dedicated tool for wiring references between GameObjects, components, and assets. More powerful than set_property for ObjectReference fields — supports resolution by asset path, scene GameObject name, component type, or instance ID.
