Creating a GWT SuggestOracle with custom object suggestions

i need a autosuggest combobox for an ambiguous list of strings. but everey string has an unique id. this id is needed to know what the user has selected (send id back to server and do something with it).

how to implement this with the gwt's auto-suggest-comboBox "suggestionBox". Is there a way to get an List of id->name pairs (like with listBox.addItem(String name, String value)) into the suggestionBox? probably by overwriting suggestionOracle? (how to get the selected id of the selected name?)

or is this usecase better be implemented by another gwt widget?

thx in advance
