Autocomplete - Detect onclick on selected item

[ssinghm32]

Is there way to detect a mouse click on a list of selected items appearing inside the AutoComplete?

For example if there are 3 countries (US, Canada, Mexico) inside the Autocomplete control and the user clicks on the name of one of the countries, I want to write some custom code to open a Modal.

It appears there is a handler/event for the close button but I would like to implement one on the rest of the selection.

I noticed there is a tag to override what is displayed in the drop down.
Is there a way to override the content for the Badge that is selected?
