There's an exchange resource that does something somewhat similar:

Perhaps it can give you some ideas. It looks like it allows the user to tab to complete too.

JS injection would be tricky with text fields because editing the HTML doesn't actually change the property value on the gateway side. You'd have to either only use js injection for display purposes or [write to some session props with on change scripts on them](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/javascript-inject-in-perspective-have-fun/65805).
