how to prevent form submission when a link is selected.

Hi,

Thank you for this nifty Plugin, it works great for me. But there is one thing I cant't manage.

I have different groups for autocompletion search items. One Group containing Links, and I managed to wrap them inside the

elements.

Now, I wan't to follow this Link if I select one of these Items, how can I do that?

Sorry, it was easier than expected.

onSelect: (item, inputfield) => {
if (item.link) window.location.href = item.link;
inputfield.value = item.label
},

hmm it only worked for mouse clicked selections, not for enter key events.

I had to modify the handleEnterKey function a little bit to make it work.

function handleEnterKey(ev) {
            if (selected !== 'undefined') {
                if (preventSubmit === 'OnSelect' /* 2 */) {
                    ev.preventDefault();
                }
                suppressAutocomplete = true;
                try {
                    settings.onSelect(selected, input);
                }
                finally {
                    suppressAutocomplete = false;
                }
                clear();
            }
            if (preventSubmit === 1 /* Always */) {
                ev.preventDefault();
            }
        }
