Custom attribute that is a select with a list of specific page types?

Permalink
I have created a custom page type and want to add an attribute to select an internal link to another page on the site by use of a select. To reiterate, I have a persons page and I want to add a hyperlink that points to a job page by use of a select box. This allows the editor to select a job for that person. This select box should be pre-populated with a list of all job pages.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your continued support.
It only appears to return the page id in the attribute so I had to do this:

$careers_page = Page::getByID($c->getCollectionAttributeValue('careers_selector'));
$careers_url = $careers_page->cPath;


If there is a better way, please let me know :)

here's a snippet:
public function getPageName($pageID) {
        $ret = "";
        $page = Page::getByID($pageID);
        if (is_object($page) && !$page->isError()) {
            $ret = $page->getCollectionName();
        }
        return $ret;
    }
