You'd need to write a custom script for this in PHP.

You can use the wpv_field_options filter to modify the options that appear in a Types select custom field.

So you would make a select custom field.

You would hook into the generation of the select dropdown using the wpv_field_options filter, and then perform a query (e.g. use get_posts) to get the posts whose titles you want to offer, iterate over them to produce an array of options in the required format, and return the array.

See the example in the documentation for the filter: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/types-api-filters/#wpt_field_options
