Noob alarm: How to reference to a Content Collection

Using Neos & Flow Frontend & Integration

Hello Pros, I have two real noob questions, which I couldn’t find any answer for.
I want to create content blocks, which I can then reuse in different landing pages so that’s why I ask.
How can I create a content reference of a specific Content Collection. There’s no name or ID tag in the properties tab, just a search bar.
Am I right that I would then reference to that specific “instance” or node of the content collection including it’s content?
Am I also right that it could still be rendered differently if the parent node inherited different variables than the original one, like e.g. fixed width?

Hi Sebastian,

I usually do it this way: I have elements like sections and multicolumns. They get a title property that will not be rendered.
Reference elements can then easily allow selection of them via the title.
Then the whole collection can be reused.
