If I understand your question right: yes. What you want is a TCA field
of the type select with the foreign_table setting.

You should play around with the quickstarter to get an idea of how
this works.

It can be done with or without flexforms, flexforms are recommended
for plugins, since you don't have to add fields to the tt_content
table.

Sorry if I totally misunderstood your question.
