Description

Right now, the relationship dropdown is displayed as a list of relation ids.

It would be great to be able to customize what is shown there in a way similar to what fields.array has with itemLabel.

Docs: https://keystatic.com/docs/fields/relationship

Example of what it looks like now:

Example: I can fake this today by building the relationship manually and use fields.select

(The width #1298 is a different issue here.)

Research direction

Start with the relationship field documentation and compare its current dropdown behavior with the documented fields.array itemLabel option. Identify the relationship field entry point and determine how a custom label should be configured; done means relationship selections display the configured labels instead of relation IDs.
