Using "values and displays" instead of tilde(~) separated lists for a combo box using a dynamic list

I am not sure if “dynamic lists” are available in App studio or is limited to the product configurator designer but I need to be able to set up a dynamic list using values and displays. Similar to this older post. Currently if I need a static list I set those up under “List Items”. There are text boxes for values and displays. This works well. If I want to use a dynamic list ,and retrieve data from a lookup table or use a UD Method, it returns a tilde(~) separated list. With this as my only option my list can only be somewhat non descriptive. Whereas I would like to use an array of values like this [{"display":"An easy to understand description", "value":"SOME_VALUE"}]. I looked in the “MetaUI” folder on the server for clues. Below is a random example. Not sure if the “$ref” involves inheritance with the combo listed. There appears to be a textField and a valueField available. Is there a way to do this either supported or a work around?
