I would like to create an Extended Choice Parameter option and for the
choices to be listed from a text file? Would it be possible and if yes, how
can i achieve that?

Take a look at the Active Choices plugin
<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Active+Choices+Plugin>
instead. A simple Groovy script can be used to read the text file and
return a list of the choices.

Thank you, I never scripted using Groovy and tried this *String
fileContents = new File("C:/temp/applicationlist.txt").text* which did not
work...

Active Choices requires that the returned value from the script is a list
or a map. Each element then becomes a selectable option.
Assuming that each line of your text file contains an option you want to
display, try something along these lines for the Active Choices groovy
script:
def choices=[]
textFile= new File("C:/temp/applicationlist.txt")
textFile.eachLine{
choices.add(it)
}
return choices
