What you want is the uuid<http://bugs.farcrycms.org:8080/confluence/display/FCDEV40/Library+Properties>form tool type. This will automatically manage the property as a foreign key column on another type, generating the user interface and so on.
By adding other attributes to the property you can control things like the interface (i.e. dropdown list or farcry library) and filter the list. If you want to do the same thing for a one-to-many relationship, you can use an array<http://bugs.farcrycms.org:8080/confluence/display/FCDEV40/Library+Properties>property.
