Make a system property where the choices should be like a "reference field"

[Goran WitchDoc]

Im wondering if it is possible to have a system property that has a choice list that is populated with data from another table.

My scenario is like this:

I want to make a system property that when we go to the property page will be like a reference field to our knowledge articles. Is it possible to somehow write javascript in the "choice" field in the property to fetch the articles I want to show? like a specific category or name starts with something etc...

Hope my question is clear enough.

Where are your choices coming from?   And how many are we talking about?... 50, 100, 50000?

Also, the change properties are being displayed with a drop-down because a UI Page (system_properties_ui) generated it that way.   So you should be able to do the same... however, I looked at the page but don't see off-hand exactly where it is choosing the type of control to display for each property.
