[Feature Request]: Support tabular suggestions for Input and MultiInput

Feature Request Description

ui5-input and ui5-multi-input support suggestions and a value help icon, which is very useful for Fiori-like value help scenarios.

For many enterprise use cases, however, simple suggestion items are not enough. Users often need to identify an object based on multiple attributes, not just one text and an optional additional text.

Examples:

Business Partner: ID, name, city, country
Product: product number, description, unit, category
Patient: patient number, full name, birth date, insurance provider

In SAPUI5 / OpenUI5, sap.m.Input supports tabular suggestions via suggestionColumns and suggestionRows. There does not seem to be an equivalent native API for tabular suggestions in UI5 Web Components.

Privacy Policy

• I’m not disclosing any internal or sensitive information.

Start by reviewing the ui5-input and ui5-multi-input suggestion and value-help APIs, then compare them with the proposed ui5-table in the suggestions slot. Define how tabular rows, headers, selection, and the selected value should integrate with both components. Done means a documented and tested API supports the business-partner, product, and patient-style multi-attribute suggestions.
