Abstract: System, method, and computer product embodiments for proving a graphical user interface (GUI) for a GUI object are described. A computing device provides, within the GUI, a polymorphic lookup interface for retrieving a plurality of entity instances to relate to the GUI object. The computing device provides a plurality of types of entities within the polymorphic lookup interface. A type of entity selected from the plurality of types limits the possible entity instances that may be returned. Through the polymorphic lookup interface, the computing device enables a user to select two or more entity instances to relate to the GUI object. Each of the selected entity instances may be selected from a plurality of possible entity instances that are returned, where each possible entity instance is a same type of entity.
