Need 'Lookup' field in Custom Metadata Types
Customization & App Building
I was very glad with the release of Custom Metadata Type Settings. But there are limited type of field types that we can create (similar to custom settings). It would be awesome if we can create "Lookup" field types to reference other custom data objects.

Custom metadata rows resemble custom object rows in structure. You create, edit, and delete custom metadata rows in the Metadata API or in Setup. Because the records are metadata, you can migrate them using packages or Metadata API tools. Custom metadata records are read-only in Apex and in the Enterprise and Partner APIs.
With custom metadata types, you can issue unlimited Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) queries for each Apex transaction.
