We have this RelationChoice field (Python 3, Plone 5.2.1)

    directives.widget(
        'reference',
        RelatedItemsFieldWidget,
        pattern_options={
            'selectableTypes': ['Document', 'Link', 'File'],
            'basePath': '/',
            'favorites': [],
        },
    )
    reference = RelationChoice(
        title=_(u'Reference'),
        vocabulary='plone.app.vocabularies.Catalog',
        required=False,
    )

which leads to

What is missing here?

I had to do some handstands in Plone 5.2 to get a RelatedItems widget to display properly. Maybe this is some use?

from .utils import default_pattern_options
from .utils import default_base_path

@provider(IFormFieldProvider)
class IRelatedTeaserImageBehavior(model.Schema):

    related_image = RelationChoice(
        title=u"Related Teaser Image",
        description=u"Add a teaser image",
        required=False,
        default=None,
        vocabulary='plone.app.vocabularies.Catalog'
        )
    directives.widget(
        'related_image',
        RelatedItemsFieldWidget,
        pattern_options = {
            'recentlyUsed': True,
            'basePath'    : default_base_path,
            'mode'        : 'auto',
            'favorites'   : default_pattern_options,
            'folderTypes': ['Folder', 'LIF', 'LRF'],
            'selectableTypes' : ['Image'],
        }
    )

in utils.py

    """ default pattern for RelatedItems widget

    portal = api.portal.get()

    # can this actually happen?
    if not context:
