If you're using the document selector, it will store the DocumentGUID in the field so not sure this is the solution you need. You might check out Related Pages. You can have events related to locations with a few simple clicks and use some OOTB features with Kentico.

Ok regarding your dropdown of locations, what is the value of the dropdown? As I mentioned, if you're using a document selector, it will be a GUID. So before I can provide a solution, I need to know what you're using for a control or value for your dropdown list items.

@Brenden Kehren : thanks for reply. fo the drop down i retrive values from sql query like

SELECT NodeAliasPath, NodeName FROM View_CMS_Tree_Joined WHERE NodeAliasPath LIKE '/Short-Breaks-and-Retreats/Regions/%' AND ClassName = 'custom.WF_Location'

so the selected value of the dropdown is the NodeAliasPath

Then what you have should work. What does your code for your transformation look like?
