As a simplified version of T343564: ZObjectSelector: Prepopulate with most common objects depending on the selection type, we'll just do these two special-cases first:
- Z4 -> String, Boolean
- Z60 -> UN6 (i.e. T343209)

Currently the ZObjectSelector uses the CdxLookup component.
With the current behavior of the Lookup component we cannot implement this feature. We can set the dropdown Menu Items with pre-defined options depending on the type, but the Lookup component will not expand the menu as long as there's no input value in the field (e.g. the user writes some string which triggers the lookup).
We can set the predefined options when there is a string input in the Lookup field but the string returns no results, for example, if the default options for type are String and Boolean:
But this requires the user to type something, which doesn't really address the issue we are trying to resolve.
