I want to write an own shipment plugin and I need to add a custom dropdown field with some options to the shippig method. The dropbox values are in a separate table.
I need to store the user's choise and display it in the invoice mail and on the FrontEnd.
Is there any way to do it?

Will the shipping price vary by the options selected? If so, has to be a shipping plugin as you stated, and yes, you can have a plugin pull from a configured or pre-populated table.
If the shipping price won't vary, then you could use a custom order field, which would be simpler.
