Is there a way to add a contact group to the dropdown list in a contact list column?

I'm looking for a way to attach notes to a sheet that isn't attached to a specific row. Rows for many of my sheets are cleared out in preparation for the next iteration of the project, and I need a notes/comments field that remains with the sheet even when the rows do not.
I have a workspace that I am looking to move items from into a new workspace. The reason I want to do this is becasue there are individuals that have access to the original workspace that do not need access to everything that is currently in the workspace.
