# Node/Post Reference

 * So I was wanting to recreate a complex Drupal website in WordPress and I wanted
   to know if WordPress had a Drupal “node reference” equivalent.
 * So for example, if I have a sports website, and I create a “player” post type
   and a “game” post type, can I reference a player post from a game post. It would
   basically be a custom meta field that basically has a loop that lists posts from
   the players post type in a select box and when one is selected it returns its
   post id so that the game post can draw data from that player post.
 * Is this possible? Thanks.

 * Hey acondiff,
 * I’m in the same situation, and wondering this myself. I’ll let you know if I 
   figure it out. Anyone else have ideas? This capacity would really add a lot to
   WordPress’ custom post types.

 * Well my business partner has come up with a method using our own custom function.
   Although this would be amazing if it became a native wordpress function. I’ll
   have to talk to him and see where the function is located at.
