Hi Saad,

A lookup field could be only set with one entity, but you can create a web resource and embed it on form to display the list of all entities by retrieving all entities with javascript.(querying metadata using web api.)

Web API expression to run:

https://org.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/EntityDefinitions?$select=DisplayName

This thread has given a web resource, which you could take it as reference:

https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/microsoft-dynamics-crm-forum/224191/how-to-retrieve-crm-entity-metadata-and-fields-information-in-html-page

I tested it in my environment: (remember to replace its origin jquery library src with your owns.)

You can extend it with your business logic.
