New description:
In the Redirects contrib module, when creating a new redirect, the first
field is for a Site instance. This is using a radio button (`radio_fields`
ModelAdmin definition:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/redirects/admin.py#L10).
This uses `RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper` – which doesn’t work for radio
widgets. Demo:
[[Image(https://code.djangoproject.com/raw-attachment/ticket/34624
/related-links.gif)]]
If we look at
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/js/admin/RelatedObjectLookups.js#L223-L230
RelatedObjectLookups.js], it seems clear this code was only written to
support `select` widgets.
Tagging this `contrib.admin` because it seems to affect all usage of
`RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper` – but as far as I can see in Django itself
only `contrib.redirects` uses radio_fields.

In this instance I believe a `select` widget would be a much nicer
experience anyway, so not entirely sure whether it makes sense to change
the widget to fix this, or update the code to support radio buttons, or do
both.
