How to get selected object in kendo auto complete -

i have complex object list set data source , need either selected object or selected field when item selected in kendo auto complete.

for example, example provided @ http://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/dropdowns/autocomplete/data-binding/#toc-arrays-of-complex-data need either full object or value of field value "alb" when "albania" selected.

the autocomplete component designed keep selected value string. if selected data item, think should use either combobox or dropdownlist component. can find more details in value binding documentation:
