Under 'Add Content' it tells me to: "Enter the title or NID of a post:"

Is there some way I can enter the NID of another Drupal site? So instead of typing "55", I could type in "drupaldomain.com/node/55" or something like that? I tried doing this but it failed.

Oh, I just thought about something. If this is pulling information from the database, then it wouldn't be able to access outside sites.

What if I have access to another Drupal database?

Connecting to an external db can be done, but requires a fair bit of effort and a considerable degree of familiarity with drupal. Also, it has nothing to do with Panels (at least not directly). By the time the data makes it to Panels, Panels has no idea where it comes from, and it doesn't care (or need to care) either. Chanecs are, if you got the multiple DB system working properly, the Panels dimensions would just fall into place.
