Allow cross-site linking of entries in Multisite.

I'm working on a book publishing website, we want to create news articles in English with a link to the German book.

We are using an Entries field in the Blueprint, and when we try select a book it only shows you the English books... currently it seems like there is no option for selecting the site in the Stack Selector modal.

I was waiting for this to appear.

This is how it was originally, then people said "why is it showing entries from other sites?".

So, we'll need to make whether or not you see entries from other sites on the field configurable.

Lol. It's kind of nice how the default collections view works: where it defaults to showing entries from site:en only but you can filter by another site if you really want to. We've just added a link in the markdown content for now but might be useful feature in the future.

I just ran into this as well. In my case, I'm using multisite to manage two different brands of the same company. The main brand and a sub-brand featuring a magazine with articles. I would like to link to articles from the sub-brand on the main brand's site.

The most elegant solution is probably to use filters and default to the current site. The same way, it's already done in the entries index.

I've also got a footer that should link to entries of both sites. Currently, I'm unable to create this navigation structure as I can't select entries from the other site, e.g., I can't select entries from goUnity in the goMagazin site.
