This is very exciting! Is this meant to work as well with dynamically fetched options, similar to the UK design system's source <https://github.com/alphagov/accessible-autocomplete/?tab=readme-ov-file#source> property for their accessible autocomplete component? So essentially the question is if there are too many options to list them statically in the HTML, is this approach supposed to work with dynamically generated options?
