What xorlo says is that you can use {lo} for all of the above meanings:

lo catra be la .smit. cu fenki

You can use {le} for the referential use, but you don't have to.

Donellan explains the attributive use thus: "Suppose first that we come 
upon poor Smith foully murdered. From the brutal manner of the killing 
and the fact that Smith was the most lovable person in the world, we 
might exclaim, "Smith's murderer is insane."

lo catra be la .smit. cu fenki
"Smith's murderer is insane."
