I'd like to create a custom data field that uses the contacts within a Group as it's data.

I see similar functionality through civi. For example when creating a new relationship, the "Find Contact" is a drop down of contacts.

What is the best way to approach this?

Thanks again.

use a contact reference custom field and then use the contactListQuery hook:

to restrict the set of contacts to a specific group only
