Description
### Description
I have an API that retrieves employee information based on their ID. I would like to implement a lookup feature using a Dropdown or Form component.
Since there are tens of thousands of employee records, it's not feasible to preload all options into the Dropdown. Instead, I want to allow users to input an ID directly into the Dropdown field. This ID should then be passed via msg.payload to trigger further processing — for example, using an HTTP Request node to query the employee information, and then populate the Dropdown with the matching result.
