Client Side - UI Action

[KeerthiPraV]

I have a use case where I need to use the getReference() method to retrieve the manager's name from the assignment group reference field. When I click a UI Action button on the client side, I want to display the manager's name in a popup alert. Could you provide the correct approach that uses the getReference() method to achieve this?
