Contentful Simple Reference Field

Contentful provides a powerful mechanism to link to other entries, accessible on the UI trough the Reference field widget. Such field works perfectly for most of the cases, however, there are a few situations we may prefer a more minimalist widget, like when referencing to a less dynamic and populated content model. Let’s imagine that we have a content model Channel that is used to identify contents that are used in a website, mobile application, etc..

So, instead of using the Reference field and having to click and select from the modal the desired channel we can have instead a simple dropdown (select) or radio buttons, but maintaining the same reference data.
