Presumably there are dozens of companion references to explain those. Can anyone recommend some?

I have this site [0] bookmarked in case I ever get around to reading it again. I like the use of hypertext so that you can follow the explanations you want and ignore others, and the inclusion of pictures and videos reminds me of the breathless anticipation of new multimedia experiences back when CD-ROMs started becoming common.

I read Ulysses last year and enjoyed it but this "companion" book was indispensable:

But also the free (online) Joyce Project with hyperlinked annotations:

I wish I'd bought this version when It came out. It's pretty expensive now.

And I cannot recommend Frank Delaney's Re: Joyce podcast enough, sadly he passed away before completing the project
