How can I let the panel user select any page from the site?

Kirby 4 Question❓
1

I am developing a website for a magazine that publishes issues and articles. The articles are not necessarily stored as children of the issues but rather in a separate folder.

Now, ideally I would like the webmaster to be able to select the related issue from the panel of the article, and vice versa, to get the link and thumbnail etc in the template.

If not possible, is there a way to do this by a panel field where they type in the name of the issue and I can then load the thumbnail, link and title from in template?

Or is all of this a huge waste of time and I should just make fields for them to enter the link and title separately each time?

Thank you!

Yes, you can use a pages field to select the related issue of an article, then use this field to get the information for the issue.

See the part “how to use in templates/snippets” of the pages field documentation about how to use it: Pages | Kirby CMS

Thank you! What confused me was I missed the difference between

fields type: pages and just pages in the blueprints
