My `<<edit-list>>` macro initially use a similar approach, but I found that it had too many problems with both interaction and appearance. I also wanted to support use of inline lists (where the listbox is visible below the input fied), multiple selection (using standard shift-click/ctrl-click interaction), confirmation of input (ok/cancel), progressive filtering (reducing the list choices to only those that contain the current edit field input), and integration with my popup Calendar for selecting and formatting date input (see https://tiddlytools.com/timer.html#TiddlyTools%2FTime%2FCalendar) . The result still uses an underlying edit-text and select widget, but they are surrounded by a bunch of custom wikitext code to handle lots of options and use-cases.
