# Object property

The **Object property** section allows you to reference object properties inline. Add an object property widget by clicking + Add Widget or typing / in a paragraph field to open up the [widget insertion menu](../embed-widgets/index.md#from-a-document). This will open a search bar where you can find a specific object and select it to add.

By default, the `title` property of the object is shown, but you can change the displayed property in the widget property menu.
