Link Any Object Type in Custom Properties

Hi Capacities Team,

I would like to have a property in my custom object types that works like the “Context” property in Tasks.

For example, I have a custom object type called “Concepts”, and I would like to link any existing object to it, regardless of its type — such as people, pages, videos, events, collections, or other concepts.

Currently, object relation properties require me to select a specific object type.

Would it be possible to make the Context property available for custom object types, or introduce a universal object relation property that supports multiple object types?

This would be especially useful for building interconnected knowledge networks without having to create separate properties for every object type.

Thank you!

A universal dropdown could be useful, escpecially when being two-way.

Object select properties currently link to one object type. A text property can link objects of different types using @ or [[ ]], but it doesn’t provide an object-picker dropdown: https://docs.capacities.io/faq/editing/link-to-multiple-object-types. Would this work for your use case, or is a universal dropdown essential?
