Allow Select from list of other content entries, i.e. "relation" field?

Hello! I'm really liking this project the more I poke around and test it, and am looking an existing Decap CMS setup that I have to use Pages CMS.

One thing I'm wondering about is, can I have a content collection for Authors and link this entry to an "author" field in a separate Posts collection? I'm not seeing anything about this in the docs or issues, but perhaps I'm missing something.

I'm thinking something like:

content:
  - name: authors
    label: Authors
    type: collection
    fields:
      - name: name
        label: Name
        type: string
      --- etc. ---
  - name: posts
    label: Posts
    type: collection
    path: 'content/posts'
    fields:
      - name: title
        label: Title
        type: string
      - name: author
        label: Author
        type: select
        options:
            relation: authors
        --- etc. ---

Yes, I plan on supporting relations, and more generally autocomplete fields. Ideally, you should be able to specify even 3rd party APIs for autocomplete suggestions.

I've just wrapped up the Next.js rewrite, so bear with me. Once it's properly released, I should be able to get this sorted out fairly quickly.
