  The way to go is to use the relationship field (Documentation)

  My recommendation is to look and try the public demo. There is an example there on how to reference the media collection:

  I don't think I'm expressing myself correctly (I don't speak English natively)

  In the blocks there is a property called imageURL that allows you to choose an image to be displayed in the block list
  

  However, I cannot do the same in the collections
  

  Is there a way to do that?

  You could build your own dashboard components. There is at the moment no way to add icons in those dashboard tiles.

  Also, payload 2.0 coming soon (I'm very excited) Don't know what will happen to the dashboard then.

  This will maybe help you for building out your dashboard:

  You can use the current dashboard as starting point, and customize it until you got it how you want:
  

  payload/src/admin/components/views/Dashboard/Default.tsx

  Line 18 in 37fe2df

  const Dashboard: React.FC<Props> = (props) => {

  Your config would like something like this:

  export default buildConfig({
    admin: {
      components: {
        views: {
          Dashboard: MyCustomDashboard,
        },
      },
    },
  });
