Well, you need to make it a refile target, that is the
whole point of defining refiling targets.
If you want, you can make yourself a special refile function that
temporarily installs a long list of files in org-refile-targets. You
can use `let' to bind
org-refile-targets, and directory-files to get the files.
For example (untested)
(defun my-refile-to-reference ()
(interactive)
(let ((org-refile-targets (list (directory-files "~/Reference/
'full "*.org")
'(:maxlevel . 1))))
(call-interactively 'org-refile)))
Would offer all top-level headlines in any org files in the ~/
Reference directory
