ok. Well, it is something to consider since we have an existing requirement.

it *could* be, but the implementation is currently single line.

The need here is that the user needs a little more information AT THE TIME of making a selection in the dropdown in order for it to be a meaningful selection. For e.g, it could be a drop down with Host IDs that were discovered and the IDs may make no sense without a brief description of what type of host it is.
