Track selected in addition to highlighted

[mlisovyi]

I have discovered textual only a week ago. But thanks - it's a wonderful product!

Trying it out I have noticed, that several widgets (e.g. datatable, option list) can emmit messages about both selection as well as highlighting, however, at the first glace it would seem that only highlighting is tracked in the object state, which makes the selection less useful practically.

Consider an app, where the user would first select a city from an option list, this will populate an another option list with street names. Upon selection the streen the user wants to click a button to send the composed address (city + street). However, there seems no reliable mechanism to read off the city and street selection (The user might inbetween change the highlighted city without selecting it).

Is it an overlooked feature? Or was it a design choice?
