Pull request overview

This PR updates System namespace API reference XML files to normalize <xref> links for properties (removing the %2A wildcard form), along with a few related formatting cleanups in Markdown remarks.

Changes:

• Replace property <xref> links that use %2A with the non-wildcard form across many System XML docs.
• Adjust a handful of related links (for example, some indexer/property references) and Markdown formatting in remarks sections.
• Minor incidental text/formatting updates in touched paragraphs and examples.
