I’m hoping to use flow to update a metaobject reference metafield when new products are added through Shopify flow. Is this possible? Doesn’t seem to be a clear way to select a specific metaobject entry.

Since this is a small set of them, you can hard-code the entries into the metafield. I think you would use the Update product metafield action, and choose “Metaobject” as the type.
