    If you only have an address or label, is there a way to get a list of matching AssetReferences?

    Something like LoadAssets<IResourceLocation>(), except for AssetReferences (tried it, throws UnknownResourceProviderException).

    no. An AssetReference just keeps up with an object's GUID. There is no mapping that could get you from address back to asset ref.
