I am trying to add a field to a custom post type through a plugin I am creating.

One of the fields I need is a post reference / link to field. Any ideas on how to do this?

In the WYSIWYG when you are adding a link, there is an area that lists existing posts ... I am looking to add this functionality to a custom field / meta box.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can create something similar to WYSIWYG link dialog by generating traditional HTML SELECT with OPTIONs as post items, and then make it more interactive (searchable,...) with Chosen jQuery library. It's not as precise solution as that in editor, but it can be enough for you.
