Using autocomplete with alternate form values (ala select box)

Using autocomplete with alternate form values (ala select box)

Is there a way to use autocomplete (with remote data) to show one value but return another in the form?

For example, in a select box you may have an option:  <option value="12345">Pick this option</option>
Selecting the option shows "Pick this option" but "12345" is the value submitted with the form.

How can I do this with autocomplete?  (There are several thousand rows, so using the combobox sample does not appear to be an option.)
