Paul's avatar is not rendered in DeleD, the tool can't do real reflection (yet). Basically, it's not the task of an editor either, it's the task of your rendering engine.
However, you can fake reflection like I did here. Create a rectangle that will be your mirror plane, cut your scene on this plane with CSG, copy and mirror the object and place it directly under the rectangle. Make the rectangle semi transparent. Voilą.
There are obviously a lot of disadvantages to this, though.
