Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Today when using a dropdown element, only the first element matching the pattern/wildcard is selected. It will be ideal that this behaivor could be controled, allowing to select all elements in the list who match the pattern/wildcard
Describe the solution you'd like
A new parameter in dropdown object (e.g. pattern_selection = True).
For example, with this if the user write "Tes" in a dropdown with a list ('Test', 'Test1,'Test3') and then push either tab or enter, will be selecting all elements who match "Tes" and not only the first one.
Another option would be to have an option to remove autocompletation . With this you can do a callback who change the values depending of the search value

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point, so first locate the dropdown component and its existing wildcard or autocomplete selection behavior. Clarify whether the goal is a new multi-selection parameter or disabling autocomplete, then verify that the chosen behavior selects every matching option when Tab or Enter is pressed.
