I have a custom post type called slides. I created some custom fields for this. One is a URL field, where the user can type in a url to link the slide to. This is cumbersome though. I would like the admin to be able to select a page from the site by using a dropdown that lists all pages. When they click on a page in that list, that is the url it will use for that slide .

Is there a way to do this?

Hello,

You can try custom reference field, see our document:

Thanks for the help link. How do I add that post reference field though to my custom fields group? When I go to add a new field, I only see these options: hidden link (and I have the latest of every toolset software installed... views, forms, and types).

This is abnormal, please check these:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Relationships, check if there is any message which is asking you migrating to new post type relationships.

If there is:
- Backup your database
- Follow the instruction of above message to migrate the relationships
Then test again.
