PropertyHandle :: StringToKey - Convert string to internal key

The passed key will be converted from anESDF string into the internal key instance format. As field separator in the string key '|' is assumed. Structure levels are enclosed in '{}'. Normally the key passed is assumed to be structured according to the sort key selected for the property handle or according to the identifying key (when no sort key is defined). It is, however, also possible to pass a valid key name for conversion.

Return value:  Internal key value ( ::Key  )

The key value structure corresponds to the structure of the passed or selected key.
