Yes, it is possible to reference a multi-image field from one CMS collection on the template page of another CMS collection in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:

Create the CMS collections: First, create the two CMS collections that you want to reference. Let's say you have Collection A and Collection B.
Add a multi-image field: In Collection A, add a multi-image field where you will store the images. Give it a meaningful name like "Images".
Reference the multi-image field: In Collection B, go to the template page where you want to reference the multi-image field from Collection A. Add an image element to the page and click on the image source.
Choose the collection and field: In the image settings panel, choose Collection A from the "Collection" dropdown menu. Then, select the "Images" field from the "Field" dropdown menu.
Apply dynamic binding: To make the image element dynamic, click on the dynamic binding icon next to the image source. Choose the appropriate binding option from the menu, such as "Current Collection Item" or "Collection List".
Publish and test: After completing the above steps, publish your site and test the dynamic functionality by creating new items in Collection A and adding images to the "Images" multi-image field. Then, navigate to the template page of Collection B to see if the images from Collection A are properly displayed.

By following these steps, you can reference a multi-image field from one CMS collection on the template page of another CMS collection in Webflow. This allows you to create dynamic and interconnected content across different collections.
