Get index of selected option

[hagemon]

In my situation, some options may have the same option string, I can not figure which one has been chosen by users if option_menu() only returns the string of option.

For example:

option = option_menu(None, ['A', 'B', 'A', 'C'])

If users select the third option, I will get an A, but I can not figure which A has been chosen.

I hope an additional parameter return_index like:

idx, option = option_menu(None, ['A', 'B', 'A', 'C'], return_index=True)

so that I can get idx=2 after the selection of the third option.

@hagemon you can use streamlit-antd-components menu component to achieve this.
