Instead of requiring developers to write the script_name of the inventory item they want to link a prop to (which is more prone to typos), it would be good if the property in the Inspector was a dropdown menu with the game's inventory items as options.
Solution description
An EditorInspectorPlugin can be created (prop_inspector_plugin.gd) to change the Control node used to render the link_to_item property to an OptionButton whose items are the inventory items in the game. This menu would be empty by default, and would show the option that matches the value of the link_to_item property (if any) of each prop.
Exclusions
None.
Implications
This won't require doing anything related to the Migrations tool.
