link to node field on another content type I have a field that uploads a pdf, I want to get the uri in another node and content type to create a link.

Is this possible to do without knowing the id of the node (so not using node_load) but by the field name? I tried to create an existing field in my node (see screen) but this seemed to just provide a duplicate field without the already uploaded pdf. 

The idea is have the users upload the file in one place.
You should be able to accomplish this using the Linkit module which has access to managed files.
