Does 'Insert records' ring a bell?  When you create a page that will use
the contents created somewhere else, select 'Insert records'.  Then in the
Items box below, click the 'browse for records' icon next to it, in the
list popped up, click the tiny arror to list all the content elements on a
page.  Select what you need.
