[10:38:00 dwc at fortuna ~]$ cat refs.yml
ref: &r
  key1: value1
  key2: value2
deref: *r
[10:38:14 dwc at fortuna ~]$ perl -MData::Dumper -MYAML -e 'print Dumper YAML::LoadFile("refs.yml");'
$VAR1 = {
          'ref' => {
                     'key2' => 'value2',
                     'key1' => 'value1'
                   },
          'deref' => $VAR1->{'ref'}
        };

IIRC, YAML calls them anchors and aliases.
