The callback mechanism on_select will pass the selected widget back as the option parameter to the on_select handler. You could maintain a copy of that reference in your own app.

The core OptionContainer widget could also maintain a selected attribute as you have suggested. I have just created a PR for iOS implementation of OptionContainer and I've added the index to the callback handler (as that could be useful to the app developer).

So I could see selected.option and selected.index properties as being easy enough to implement.

@freakboy3742 is this something you would like to see in OptionContainer or would accept if there was a PR for it?
