Nested array as data source for autoComplete

[Driaan]

Hi ladies and gents,

This is my situation:
var choices = ['ActionScript', 'AppleScript', 'Asp'];
Above is my data object for autoComplete suggestions, however, I wanted to be able to nest more data within those items (in my case to prevent a second request after selecting an item), so that as soon as the user selects the item, there is already some data to display.
So basically, I would like to render it as such:
return '<div data-json="' + item.data + '" data-text="' + item + '"></div>'
where as my data source would look something like json:
var choices = [{name: 'foo', data 'bar'}, 'AppleScript', 'Asp'];
Thus once selected, in the callback I am able to get the dataAttribute('data-json'), and render a different list without having to wait for another request to the server.

If anyone has any advice, it is greatly appreciated.

It's possible that I am misunderstanding how it works currently, and i'm not sure if this is possible.
If that's the case, I do apologize but would greatly appreciate guidance in this direction.
