      # Use the attribute of stored model.
      #
      # This DSL method provides access to a stored model by name.
      # You can then request an attribute of that model for use within
      # the current model. The models which current support this are
      # Border, Geometry and Interface.
      #
      # @example
      #   # Here the character used for 'my_border' is used in
      #   # 'my_other_border'.
      #   Vedeu.border 'my_other_border' do
      #     top_right use('my_border').top_right
      #   end
      #
      # @note
      #   - Only models of the same repository can be used in this
      #     way.
      #   - If the stored model cannot be found, a ModelNotFound
      #     exception may be raised, or the request for an attribute
      #     may raise a NoMethodError exception.
      #
      # @param name [String] The name of the model with the value you
      #   wish to use.
      # @raise
      #   [Vedeu::Error::ModelNotFound|Vedeu::Error::NoMethodError]
      #   The model or attribute cannot be found.
      # @return [void] The stored model.
