title: Rally-Node REST API return specific User Story or Defects
body: <p>I'm reading the <a href="https://github.com/RallyTools/rally-node/wiki/User-Guide" rel="nofollow noreferrer">rally-node wiki</a> and I don't get how to <strong>Read an Object</strong>. The part I don't get is the <code>ref</code> part. </p>
  
  <p>How would I know the <code>ref</code> of the user story if I only know the title and the formatted ID (US5) of the story? </p>
  
  <p>I know that after creating a user story I have a <code>_ref</code> that contains <code>.../hierarchicalrequirement/121212121212</code> and by using that I can read the object, but is there another way of doing it? Since how would I know what my <code>_ref</code> is of a user story I created a long time ago?</p>
  
  <p>Or is the best way to get user story from Rally is using <code>restApi.query({})</code>?</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is to return a specific user story, defect, etc from Rally with specific fetch data i.e. Formatted ID, Name, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
