I'm trying to create a Block View to display a second node's Body based dynamically on the node currently being displayed.

Example: node/1 is currently being displayed, and the block in the sidebar loads the body (Contact information for example) of a secondary node, say node/12. But if node/2 is being displayed, the block will instead load the Body of an entirely different node.

Can I create an integer field in the Content Type that identifies the secondary, "Contact Block", node to display, and how would I create the View to use this field? Or do I need to create a relationship, and if so, which Content Type needs the relationship, the primary node, or the secondary node?
